Who Is Mudlark?
I am Kathy. I am married to the love of my life. We met in Ukraine, dated in Moldova, got engaged in Romania, married in Moldova (officially), and had our marriage ceremony in Florida. We’ve settled in the southeast of the US for now, but who knows where we’ll be in a few more years! We have 3 beautiful children, nicknamed Bean, Little Man, and Bruiser. I never expected to be a mom, but I’ve found that motherhood has fulfilled all the longings I never knew I had. I’ve become the woman I never dreamed I was capable of being.
The name Mudlark? A mudlark is a child (usually an orphan, though I’m not) who is found searching in river mud for things of value. That’s kind of who I am. Unfortunately I find that I often cling to things that have very little value, and it’s pretty darn hard to pry those out of my clenched fists. But the very act of searching for things of value implies the hope of finding them, and the blind trust that they were put there for me to find.
I switched from Blogger to WordPress in March ‘07. You’ll find my former Blogger edition here.
Thanks for reading!
Update: On September 12, 2007 our son (Liam, age 21 months at the time) was diagnosed with epilepsy and a benign brain tumor. We’re walking the road to healing now, and you’ll find that story here too.

[...] Kathy at Mudlark Tales did a post celebrating the details of her love for her husband, and I liked the idea so much I wanted to follow suit. [...]

Mudlark that you are, those things that you find of “very little value” are indeed true treasures worth more than gold itself for they were placed there by God for you to discover. You are a fierce protector of these valuable treasures and I marvel at the woman you have become. Of course the treasures that I see and those you hold dear may be different, but your inner strength is something I recognize that sets you apart from the rest.
