A Christmas Miracle - Bringing Paighton Home

I'll be home for Christmas.  It is a Christmas Carol that has always made me think of our service men and women who are protecting us and sacrificing their time at home for the country that they love.  It also makes me think about the everyday heroes who work their Christmases, the police, fire fighters, nurses and doctors.  This year while I still think about all of them I also think about a very special young woman.

Growing up in Clay, AL I was able to get to know most of the people I grew up with pretty well.  It was still a small town.  I remember when the Houston family moved just down the street.  This sweet family  became neighbors, then friends and then family.  The natural progression of a relationship, the family that we choose.  I remember when they moved to Trussville and we have all remained close.

This family is one that would do anything for anyone.  If they knew you needed a hand they would lend it and not think twice.  They will pray with you, they will let you cry, scream and even cuss when you just feel like you cannot take it any more.  Today they need our help.

I am writing this because I believe in miracles.  I believe in the magic of Christmas.  I believe that hope should never cease.  I also believe that we have to keep Paighton's name and picture out there.  We need to make sure that everyone from Trussville to Mobile, from Atlanta to Los Angeles, from London to Tokyo know what she looks like and that she has a family in Trussville who want their daughter home.

Paighton is 29 years old.  She wears her hair straight and curly.  She is 5'2" and weighs around 125 pounds.

She was last seen in Birmingham's South Side leaving The Tin Roof on Friday, December 20, 2019 at 10:45 PM.  She sent a text to her friend that she was not sure who she was with and felt as though she was in trouble.

Please help her family get answers.  If you have seen her call the Birmingham Police Department at 205-254-1700 or just dial 911!!!  Someone knows something, please anything no matter how insignificant it may seem call and help them bring Paighton home!

Please pray for this sweet family as they continue to search for Paighton.  

Paighton we Love you sweet girl!

Charlaine, Doug, Landon, Jillian and Evan we love you!  Please whatever we can do reach out.  We can pass out flyers, we can knock on doors.  ANYTHING you need we are here!

12 Years Since

12 Years can be measured... 4,384 Days 105,216 Hours 6,312,960 Minutes I can go on. That is how long it has been since I hugged the man who taught me how to be ME!  He taught me how to love, how to fight, how to apologize.  He taught me how to count, how to read and how to write.  In 12 years a lot can happen.  We have moved.  We have had birthdays, anniversaries, tragedies and triumphs.  Careers have changed.  Graduations have happened.  Others have passed away and new members have been born.  My family literally grew by the multiples (and I would do anything to be able to share the story with him).  My boys have grown up with simply stories of a man who would have been an amazing Granddaddy.  They have only stories and a few pictures of a man who loved them more than he loved me (and let me tell you THAT is something I did not think was possible).  Grief comes in waves and this I know and most days I really a...

My Why

So I am asked why a lot.  I think that it is a question we are all asked a lot.  It is also one that we ask a lot. Why now? Why me? Why us? Why did that happen? Why? It is a simple question, but the answers are usually complex.  As parents we are all guilty of "because I said so, that is why." Well, at least I know I am and it is one response I try to steer away from.  I try to always explain the why.  Whether it is to my child, my husband, my mom, a friend, or anyone.  I try to give them a why, if it is important enough to ask, I feel it is important enough to answer. My clients, I will ask why to.  Why are you moving?  I cannot wait to hear their answers, jobs, schools, neighborhood, just ready for a change, the list is endless. So I am doing some self examination right now and going to explain my why.  I have a Master's in Business.  I could probably go to work and make a decent living, but the cost of that is too high.  ...
