The Callahan Family Chronicles

Terrence Nathaniel Callahan wandered into the kitchen; his shoulders seemed to be weighed down, but it was just the same old stupid stuff that kept him from sleeping.   No swiftly tilting planet, but a dream that seemed almost as bad as a nightmare because instead of being stuck in the dream, every morning he woke up to his miserable life...

The Flower of Woody End
The boy was small. Of course, everyone in his clan was small; it’s just the way it was. He looked at his father and smiled. The boy’s parents were a source of great pride, and he knew that more than most families, they would understand. At least he hoped they would.

Two souls languish in disappointment. One prays desperately that his child’s heart will somehow match his form. The other prays that somehow finally that her form will at last match her heart. Both will find out that it’s not about what, but about who we are.

This continues Nan's story from The Voice and Beyond
Nan felt helpless; as if her life left her without choices. She finds out, like so many of us, that our lives and our choices meet fulfillment every single day; when it comes to love, it truly is up to you.

Bobbie C....Yippee!

Just a quick update: Bobbie sends her regards, and might even blog very soon after this post. She's been spending much more time overseas for her job, including a lot of travel to other locations besides her home base. Much of her responsibility with her company has changed focus and even increased, so she's been very busy. She wants you to know she misses everyone and hopes to write here soon, as well as continue to add to Danny's story as well.
