Stroke can happen suddenly and without warning. When it occurs, time is brain. Every minute that passes can mean the difference between recovery and long-term disability, or even
A Happy Mother’s Day and heartfelt thank you to all the moms. There is nothing more special than a mother’s love, caring, and nurturing. This represents an amazing gift in the plan of God. The bond between a mother’s love and maternal guidance seems to grow stronger as the years pass by, and mom is
Once upon a time, in a land littered with Goldfish crumbs and LEGO landmines, a tiny human looked up at you with sticky fingers and the purest of eyes and said, “Mama.” Your heart exploded.

It was a beautiful sun-drenched morning as we headed to Historic Bowman Field. This has always been exciting for me.

I remember back in the 90s, after one horrible haircut, I was desperate for rapid regrowth. Hearing some sort of wives’ tale about horse shampoo helping hair grow faster, I begged my mother to buy good old Mane & Tail. She did, but it didn’t give me the long or luscious locks I had hoped
