Over time, I've come to terms with it and each time something so sad happens it seems that it's preparing us for what life brings in later years. I have both of my parents still but they are in their 70's and I know that will be devastating as we're very close. Just one of the waves on the ocean that we have to ride.
I feel like I have been riding a tsunami for the past year!
Won't get into the gory details, serious illness still battling, hurricanes, the list goes on.
Every day has been struggle, but I try to get up and appreciate the good things I have and the people I love.
Worked like a dog 14 hrs days for the past 7 years to get the things I have, and now being forced to smell the roses.I have left my summer open to enjoy my nephews while they are still young, and even though its difficult some days, I am out there riding the scooter, dancing the Hamster chicken dance in driveway, and blowing bubbles.
But can't wait to really come home to SoWal.
That must have been really tough for you.
