Hi, my name is Stacey, I’ll be your main source of entertainment here. I have a lot to say about my life story, but I’ll start with the basics. The more you scroll the more you’ll learn about me, it’s entirely up to you.

I’m in my mid 30’s living in the northern metro-detroit region of Michigan with my husband, two son’s and two step-children. I just recently stepped away from being a nurse to care for my youngest son, Holden.

I love fall and winter! I am definitely a fan of Michigan’s beautiful crazy weather. I enjoy snuggling up by a fireplace and watching the snow fall. No matter what time of the year it comes down, snow is beautiful and magical and I’m never disappointed by its arrival. I love Harry Potter and old things. Just in general, if it looks old and awesome, I like it, especially wood. I love coffee, dogs and naps. And I love my grandma!

I’m a pretty emotional person, I cry a lot and I’m not all that ashamed of it. I wear my heart on my sleeve and it is what it is.

In 2007 I lost my first child, Kaden. He was born prematurely on Friday the 13th of July. I had him by emergency c-section at 27 weeks gestation due to a low heart rate during a routine OB appointment. He lived for an hour and a half and then peacefully passed away in our arms.

Sixteen days after his birth, and ten days after his funeral, Wes and I got married. And in December of 2008 we welcomed another baby boy, Wesley. He was born by c-section, handsome and healthy.

We didn’t have a perfect marriage. We were young, and we didn’t see eye to eye on many things. Each of us has our own feelings of what happened and neither one of us was right or wrong, so in 2010 we filed for divorce. At the time, my Dad had just been in an accident that left him paralyzed and it made me realize more than ever that life is short, so we mind as well move on. In the beginning it was difficult, but as time went on, I felt that our relationship improved and that we were doing a good job co-parenting.

In 2013, I remarried to an amazing man, Brent. I never thought I’d marry a fellow divorcee with kids but I guess we wanted to put our baggage together. He had two children from his first marriage, and I had my son. But still, we wanted to have another child to complete the “yours, mine and ours” cliche.

Shortly after Holden was born, my ex husband passed away unexpectedly. It has left an awkward hole that one cannot quite explain. But if you want to hear my one sided personal feelings on grieving an ex spouse, you can here.

Shortly after Wes passed is when things changed and it became evident that something might be wrong with Holden.

I think that’s a pretty good summary for now. But if there’s anything more you’d like to know, just ask.
