Sierra was always an exceptional child. She was the child every parent hoped for. From the time she was two, she already knew she wanted to be the next Jenny Finch. She started T-ball at four years old on the pitcher's mound, and that is where she played until she was nineteen when she was in a horrific car accident. She had a team of about twenty doctors, and every one of them warned us that people didn't make it through this kind of accident. But they didn't know Sierra and how she knocked low odds out of the ballpark.She earned a full ride to college because of her amazing pitching abilities. I was the mom who was at every game, cheering her on, encouraging her to do her best, and not letting her be too hard on herself when she made mistakes. It made my heart so happy to see my baby girl on that pitcher's mound, probably more happy than her when she was standing on the pitcher's mound. I was sure that I would see her on TV, playing one day.Then one day, I received a call from Coach Lucas, and my world, Sierra's world, and all of our family's world changed. We lost our Sierra that day and gained a new Sierra. She defied all odds, and she is alive and able to do the things we all take for granted, and we are so very grateful first to God, then to Sierra for fighting, to the amazing neurosciences ICU doctors and nurses, the extraordinary staff at the rehab hospital in Las Cruces, and lastly to all the people who patiently stood by her side and helped her get to the point she is today.

These times show violence, compassion, religion, and hard work, combining the families from various aspects of living through the wars, Depression, highlights, and disappointment of the times.A czar of the local family-he began as a coal miner, union organizer, mine operator, and lawman, only to later serve prison time during hard times for moonshining. He returned to being a lawman and once stabbed a fellow lawman at a dance. He married an out-of-state orphan. That union brought a fourteen-year-old bride whose family once attempted to blow up a courthouse in Virginia due to a land issue.A one-armed man was the leader of the other family. A self-ordained minister who labored in the mountain life, cutting trees for the lumber company. He provided six sons for the work and joined his wife's family to provide three girls to prepare their food. His wife lived an exciting life raising the sons of a preacher. Shootings and death, even by the wife of one son, with two sons following the self-ordained ministry route, thus created challenges and excitement.

Religion and violence seemed the main ingredient for our family through the years. Join us in remembering the stories and events. Sincerely,Billy Holcomb

Every year, approximately thirty-eight thousand recruits pour through the gates of Marine Corps Recruit Depots at San Diego, California, and Parris Island, South Carolina, for a chance to line up on the historic yellow footprints. And once on it, the reality of the situation sets in and almost without exception, they immediately ask themselves one question: "What the f---- did I get myself into?"In From maggots to Marines, male and female Marines from WWII to present day share their sometimes hilarious and always insanely interesting stories of their boot camp experience.Read their personal accounts of the shock and awe of arrival; those fun-filled trips to the sand pits; close order drill adventures; and most importantly...tales of some of the insane (and funny) "training aids" implemented by their DIs.Then flip to the DI chapters to get the word from the duty hut--straight from the "hats" themselves. The rigors of a 100- to 120-hour workweek, the strain placed on their marriages, and the opium they rely on to get them through it all: humor.One day early on, we were waiting our turn outside of a warehouse while others were inside getting some equipment issued. While we were standing at parade rest, the senior asks for a volunteer for some undisclosed mission."How many of you have one year of college," he asked. A bunch of us raised our hands. "How many of you have two years of college?" A smaller number of hands went up. "How many of you have three years of college?" Only one guy raised his hand. "Come here, maggot," the DI barked.At this point, I'm sure the kid probably thought he had just won the boot camp lottery and that his educational background had just staked him to some advantage. Until he heard the next words, that is, "Grab this f----ing coffee cup, puke, and run back to the duty hut and get me a cup of coffee." And just like that, the recruit got a slice humble pie along with the realization that his schooling didn't mean jack here.

My Missing Piece is a comprehensive book based on nine years of research on death, grief, and survival toward a new normal. The author discusses life, why we fear death, how children die, and where we go when we die based on the Bible, science, and mediums. She shares the physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual impact on our health and lives, as well as the variables that affect how we grieve. The author details how grief affects partners, siblings, marriages, careers, and relationships with friends and family. She delves into the religious and spiritual upheaval that can occur after a loss as well as the unanswerable question--why? The author provides signs sent from our children to provide us with peace and comfort, along with information on where to get help while struggling through grief. She provides a list of the most insensitive statements made to bereaved parents by those trying to provide comfort. Finally this book is not only a personal perspective of grief but one based on stories by many suffering families. The author's goal was to illustrate that we are not alone in our grief; we all grieve differently, and we can all survive this atrocity and be a lifeline to others in need.
