It Won’t Be A Surprise Party…

January 28, 2013 By Marta Darby 9 Comments

I had my mom, Luza, with me over the weekend. Our major activity was making plans for her upcoming birthday next month. We will be celebrating her 99 years on earth. Me: "What would you like to do for your birthday?" Luza: "I would like a party." Me: "Of course." She stops for a moment, thinking. "Can I have ...

The Things I Didn’t Blog About in 2012 – Fibromyalgia

January 24, 2013 By Marta Darby 35 Comments

I've never shared this with anyone but my very closest friends. I've been writing here at My Big, Fat, Cuban Family for 6 years and I have never even broached this topic, but that's not important right now. I suffer from fibromyalgia.

The Things I Didn’t Blog About in 2012 – Luza

January 7, 2013 By Marta Darby 35 Comments

I write just about every day in my journal. I use the pages to rant and complain so that I don't do as much of it here in this public space. In my journal, I write about my fears, my worries, my hopes, and my dreams.

The Best of MBFCF in 2012

January 4, 2013 By Marta Darby 1 Comment

I've been blogging here in this space for the past six years and a half years. That's a lot of life that has transpired and that I've documented here on my blog. A couple of years ago I started doing a recap in January of the year that had passed. Here are years, 2009, 2010, and 2011. I like looking back to see where I've been ...
