10 weeks later

  My life has changed many ways since 2011 arrived.  Many different ways than I originally thought they would, and all out of my control.  So here we are 10 weeks since the passing of my dad.  Realizing that time heals in a slow way.  My mom and I talk about my dad, as do my daughter and I.  Same things are said in different conversations....that we really miss him.  My mom is adjusting to losing the love of her life, her companion and longtime best friend.  My daughter and I are adjusting to losing our dad/poppy who we assumed would be around for a much longer time.  We took for granted our time with him and lessons he taught us. 

I wish he could physically see the changes my life has gone through the past 10 weeks.  I'm sure he would be proud and relieved at the way I have handled myself and the outcome of decisions I have made.  I hope I have made him smile his "squinty smile" as he watches over the 11 of us from the heavens above.

This past week I closed escrow on the house that I owned with my estranged husband.  It was a big relief to finally have it close and be done with that portion of my divorce.  I'm grateful for the outcome and for chosing to do what's right.  Again I was reminded that the best blessings in life, are things that  you can't put a price tag on, because they are just priceless. 

I'm thankful for my relationship with the Lord.  I'm grateful for the family I have and for the people in my life.  I'm ready to move on and start finding out who I am and what I'm made of.  I want to blossom to the person I am destined to be. 

I love and miss you dad. 

faith, patience and hope....all will be good in the end.
