I am back!!

I have had a really rough couple of years. Now it is time to start journalling all that I have been through.

I can definitely see where my cancer journey has prepared me to be a widow. I became stronger, more assertive and more independent. I am doing things that I didn’t know that I could do.

At first I was overwhelmed and thinking I wouldn’t be able to keep my house without him here. But the kids and I are getting along okay. Quite frankly we have been doing things that I never thought we would do and going places I didn’t know we would go. We went to the Bahamas for 10 days at Christmas time because I didn’t want to be home. That way we didn’t have to have a Christmas tree or shop or wrap. We just wanted to get out of town.

Thanks for all the notes and well wishes. It means alot.

I am working 3 12 hour shifts now at the hospital. I am a nurse’s aid. I love my job!!

Tara and I are both in counseling. Dale is just coping on his own. Seems to be doing okay. He graduated and is going to a community college. Tara is going to be a high school freshman.

Well, that’s all I am going to start with for now. I am going to write more often. I have so much to share. i will spend a few minutes checking up on my long lost friends on here!

P.S. Happy would be 46th birthday to my darling husband. It’s his 2nd birthday in heaven.

Bless your heart. I think of you and I’m glad to hear that your cancer is gone for now?

I can’t tell you how happy I am to see you update. I think about you often. I’m so glad to hear things are going okay. I can’t believe Dale graduated and Tara’s in high school! So big.

So glad to see an entry from you. I’ve thought of you often and even got a FB account thinking maybe I would run across you but my memory failed me on your real name. I’ve often wondered how the kids and you were doing. Sounds like you are doing great and yes I knew you were a strong independent woman. It just takes life to push you into things you never dreamed or thought you could possibly accomplish! Great to see you back!! God Bless

I’m so happy you’re back! I’ve missed you so much and have prayed so hard for you and your kids. It’s been a terribly hard road for you these past three years and, lady, you just amaze me. God Bless you all. YAY! YOU’RE BACK!!!! (((superbighugs)))

RYN: This article explains it all. Sounds odd to me? I rather wonder if she just didn’t want them to “do her in?” She had a blog called Tammy talks, I think? She told me about it on FB. She was very depressed, needing a liver transplant, divorced, and lost most of her things and home in the Joplin, MO, storms. She made amends with all of us from her past, on FB, and we were all getting on famously. She had been sober for 2 years, but, recently started drinking again. I think there is more to that story than meets the eye. But, in any case, I just pray, that NOW, she could finally have peace, joy, and love always. ***Love & Bighugz. I know what you mean about “get over him, and move on.” I miss Severn so much, my whole life has changed, and I am older feeling, most days, than I should be. But, God is still good and He always has our backs!!!!! http://www.ky3.com/news/ky3-woman-killed-in-deputyinvolved-shooting-in-republic-mo-20111004,0,4629856.story
