I was sitting here thinking about my birthday next month , thinking about how I would spend it.
I find myself wanting to ignore all holidays ....

of course I want to spend the day with my daughter, break some bread, and enjoy the easy, closeness of the relationship we used to enjoy...as I got a glimpse of what that once was, a tear or two fell, and then it was gone...I have not thought about the girl I used to know in a while....

and as I watched myself quickly recover, I was amazed at how effectively I have learned to shut the door on that pain , over the loss of my AD...and I was quickly back to the present.
and I was grateful....that I have learned to live in the now and be hopeful for what can be...no longer imprisoned by my own pain.....

and I know that someday I will be able to dust off those memories with joy , not sorrow....

thanks for being here , everyone,
big hugs to you all...Grateful

I'm so glad you have learned to reach past the pain and find the good in life. I know when I got bogged down in what ISN'T in my life, I only have to look at what IS to realize there is much to be grateful for.

Hugs and prayers!
