A Mother's Journey
My heartfelt book, Losing Alex, which I wrote after the loss of my first baby, Alex, who was stillborn at full term, is now officially an AudioBook and I couldn't be more proud and humbled by the amazing voice of Marsha Waterbury, for lending her talents for my story.
On the Facebook page I have for the book I wrote about my journey raising a child with RDEB called Butterfly Child, I started posting a few images from Nicky’s first years and commenting on either what was going on at the time or explaining things about the picture per...
Nicky has a new favorite show as of late, it’s the 80s revival show titled “The Goldbergs” and when I asked him why he liked it so much (I know why I like it… it’s all that 80s stuff!) he told me it was because… well, Beverly Goldberg is me,...

I wrote about this subject before, but today I came across this website that made me laugh out loud… mainly because their message spoke to me. Take a peek at these sympathy cards by Emily McDowell, here’s one on the right —> It goes without saying that if I had...

I updated my Caringbridge Blog today (here’s the link–> http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/nickyz/journal/view/id/554ba814f02065dc3614f506) and I also posted a photo on my Butterfly Child Book Facebook Page and I talk about the pain and suffering that Nicky endures. It’s not easy. EB sucks. It’s been two years now since I had to start giving Nicky...
I was 17 years old when I left Italy for what was supposed to be a 3-month stay with my aunt in New Mexico which ended up becoming permanent. I’m still here 33 years later. And while it was my choice to stay, many times I must admit, I miss...

Not too long ago I enjoyed watching a really amazing documentary on PBS called the “Italian Americans“, which told the tale of the plight of Italian immigrants and how they were treated and their contribution to American society. I wasn’t aware of this, but the unification of Italy in 1861,...
Apparently the past 18 years I had my head completely in the sand. The cure for EB was in my cupboard! Who knew? Instead of putting fancy creams, or high tech bandaging and wound healing products, I should have just covered Nicky’s wounds with potato skins and cooked onions and...
I think this is something we all wish-that a DeLorean was available for us to enter, we could turn on the time circuits, flick on the Flux Capacitor, and we could reach that 88-miles threshold to another place and time where we could change things… Summer 1984 is where I...

I haven’t updated my blog in a little while-I am usually a chatterbox, I love to write and to me writing is therapeutic, but lately between my book release, Nicky’s extra trip to Stanford, Easter, Greg’s birthday and all I think I lost track of time. This next week I...
