There's no easy way to deal with friendship loss. I think we have all experienced this in our lifetime. I contemplated sharing this for so many reasons, but I felt that some of you could relate and may need to hear this too. Losing a friend....ouch. Not just losing a friend, but a best friend, [...]
When I was little, college seemed like it was eons away. I remember passing in front of Nicholls State University as a child and thinking, "WOW! COLLEGE! That's really big place! I want to go there one day!" Every time we passed on LA 1 with the Nicholls' fountain in sight, it sparked a long [...]
I can't even believe I am typing this. What I really can't believe is that I have finally gained the courage to share this with you all. I, Jessica Evans Rebstock, have battled depression. I, Jessica Evans Rebstock, have battled depression and overcame it. You heard it right. I was depressed. This post has been [...]
You're hearing it from me... Thank you for choosing me over yourself. I can't imagine the pain and permanent void a birth mother must feel when she makes the choice to willingly give up her child. Now being of age to be a parent, the thought of giving up a child is unimaginable, and a [...]
The day we lost you put a permanent hole in my heart. I remember this day so vividly and have relived each moment, rewriting the ending with many "what ifs." Though many years have passed, it seems each day brings something new that I wish I could share with you. The truth is, I will never stop [...]
The last seven years have been QUITE an adventure. Being a college/grad student is a tough job that many do not understand unless they have "been there done that." Am I right or am I right!? Nicholls has been my home the last seven years (tears). It has been my constant and the place I [...]
I really don't have enough words to say how wonderful my Dad is. He is the only man in this whole world who has never let me down, disappointed me and loved me with his whole and entire heart. Through his actions, I am reminded that there are GOOD men in this world. Men have [...]
You may all be asking yourself, "what in the world is a gotcha day?" Well a couple months back, some of you may have read my post about my adoption story. "Gotcha day" is a slang reference for the day a child is adopted. I have heard this many times before and it is a [...]
I woke up this morning only to realize that another year has come my way. It's so weird to think that I'm a quarter of a century old (yikes). Time is flying and I feel so grateful for the path God chose for me and the one I chose for myself. Year 24 was so [...]
What. A. Year. As I'm laying in my bed working on this post, I sincerely have no idea where the year went! I blinked and it is already time to start preparing for 2018. I remember around this time a year ago, I made a promise to myself to no longer hold back on what [...]
