The Dougherty Clan: Each New Year
http://doughertyclan.blogspot.com/2012/01/each-new-year.html
Other things may change us, but we start and end as family. Thursday, January 19, 2012. Quiet moments of the divine. To become a mother, I had to learn how to care about someone more than I did about myself, and that was terrible. But who I am now is something more terrible: the protector who can’t always protect; the one with arms that are designed to hold, always having to let go. Only so that you can become strong enough to be a woman who will be left. I don't know if when you grow up you will have a ...

Other things may change us, but we start and end as family. Sunday, March 09, 2008. Yesterday was Paula's birthday. Katie coined the term "Paula-palooza 2008" because we had a two day celebration including lots of wine, a facial, a movie, a green crown and FABULOUS Chinese food. Paula may have thought it was a bit over the top but Katie and I had as much fun as we've had in a long time. Will you let me be your servant, Let me be as Christ to you;. Happy Birthday, Paula. I don't know what the next yea...

The Dougherty Clan: Ruminations
http://doughertyclan.blogspot.com/2008/01/ruminations.html
Other things may change us, but we start and end as family. Monday, January 21, 2008. Yesterday while I was feeling a little desperate and maybe a little sorry for myself, I had a quiet moment of renewed Grace. I was thinking about the things I've learned in the last year. There is no right thing to say when someone dies. Send a card, a note, flowers, memorials, don't try and say the right thing, just let them know you care and you're available. We all need help. No one can get by alone. Be gentle with y...

Other things may change us, but we start and end as family. Friday, November 04, 2011. Dear Grandpa Tom,. Happy Birthday, Grandpa Tom. So much has happened since you left us. I know that you are very much still in our lives, but some days the absence is concrete and physical, some days the grief still feels fresh and new. But I look at the kids, especially Finn, and I am reminded that your hands are still very much at play in our lives. Happy Birthday, Tom. We love you as always. Im crying like a baby ri...

Other things may change us, but we start and end as family. Monday, September 30, 2013. Wednesday, September 25, 2013. Happy Birthday, Mr. Seamus. This is an important birthday for so many reasons. Everyone who meets you, thinks that your an old sort of soul, but at the age of 10 you become what people now call a tween. I don't really know what it means, but I can see from the last few months that your view of the world and your role in it are changing. Mom, maybe its just a phrase.". You started swimmin...
