Wow. It has been a while. I apologize for such a long hiatus but i wanted to come back with something positive. The truth is I haven't seen much positivity lately. Judy is doing well. She is the same, but it has been a rough few months. My grandmother passed away recently and though I wasn't close to her, my mother was. I have had a difficult time deciding whether or not to tell my mother and I am still trying to figure it out.
My next door neighborer left last month to take care of his grandmother who may have Alzheimer's and we haven't heard from him in a while. Another neighborer who happens to be one of my closest friends lost her grandfather and her father within weeks of each other and she held her father when he passed away. And another friend of mine lost his mom to a long battle with cancer and I have not been able to reach him or his wife.
So you can see why I have not been writing. It just didn't seem right to put my personal issues out there when so many others were having a hard time. My wish for all left behind during these difficult times would be to remember the joy that there loved ones gave them when they where around and To take time to let the pain in. I don't think you can ever really move on until you do.
When the pain lessons you will be able to smile and laugh again and when it hits you to laugh till your stomach hurts I ask you to let it happen. Enjoy the little moments and come out the other side of this with nothing but love. as simple and cliche as it may be time heals all wounds and I hope that time is fast and steady for you all.
