Posted on December 26, 2022 by Terri Nida

It has been a long time since I have posted. I have had so many people check in with me to make sure I am alive and well.

Renewal of a Steadfast Spirit

Posted on October 29, 2018 by Terri Nida

On October 14, 2018, I lost my dad. He was 88 years old and was in terrible pain. Although we feel a sense of relief that he is no longer suffering, the sorrow is still there. I’m sure many of you understand this from personal experience. Read the rest of this entry →
