Time goes by....

This year has flown by so quickly I feel as though we didn't have time to take a breath at times.  I can't believe that it's been over a year already.

A lot has changed in the past year.  We have made it successfully through our "year of firsts".  For that I am forever greatful.  There were days I didn't know if I was going to make it.  There were days I wished I wouldn't.  My children have grown and changed so much in this year.  And we have all learned that life truly is for the living. 

I wasn't going to post on here anymore because of some of the changes that have happened in my life as of late.  However after thinking on it, I was going to stop posting because I felt like I should feel guilty for moving on.  Then I realized that I have nothing to feel guilty about.  Some people may not understand or approve of my decisions, but they are just that, my decisions. 

Now I think that maybe someone reading about my decisions will feel empowered to make some decisions in their lives as well.  That is my strongest hope. 

So...here goes...I got married again in August.  Nope, not quite a year since my husbands death.  I was worried about how people would respond to that, but as my wonderful mother pointed out, I fulfilled my part of the marriage vows, "until death do we part".  I was a faithful wife to him until the very end.

Here is what I know...my children are happy, I am happy and "Life is for the living".  Allow yourself to live.
