Widow's Journey

Monday Morning at the Breakfast Table

Memory Lane (May 2016) I remember posting this on Facebook months ago. The status read:

November 14, 2016

Welcome to Little Stories, Lasting Grace. I'm MomLen—a mother, a widow, a storyteller, and, somewhere along the way, a crochet enthusiast who discovered that every stitch carries a memory. This little corner of the internet began as a place to write about life after loss. What began as my early chronicles grew over the years into this little collection of stories about family, faith, motherhood, healing, laughter, and the quiet lessons hidden in ordinary days. Every now and then, you'll also find the stories behind my crochet creations—because they're never just about yarn. They're about the season of life in which they were made. So whether you're a parent, a fellow solo parent, someone learning to begin again, or simply someone who enjoys heartfelt stories, I hope you'll find something here that reminds you you're not walking alone. I'm glad you're here. 💙
