Dear Sweet E, my very first post to you was What I Will Tell Sweet E: Dig Yourself. Today’s post about overcoming rejection ties into the notion of digging yourself by knowing who you are and what you want from this life. Rejection stings, my sweet boy; you’ll never get used to it when it …

19 months ago our lives changed when Sweet E entered the world on a stormy February day. Fat Tuesday lived up to the celebration that year and it’s been a lesson in grandparenty love ever since.
