13 years into a New Beginning

It’s been 13 years since we were abruptly awakened to that early morning traumatic death of my husband.  There was a call for help, pain, ambulances, emergency assistance, hospital waits.  And finally the physician’s voice with words that seemed foreign to my ears.  It was more than shock.

My thoughts,” It’s ten days before the holiday season.  Our daughter is Senior Class President, Optimist Club President, about to graduate from high school. ”

With support from family, friends and neighbors, we managed.  Our daughter graduated from high school with the usual honors to which we had become accustomed.  She entered and graduated college.  Life goes on.

Each day is a New Beginning. We miss you.  We remember you.  We honor you.  Thank you for the special moments, the courage, the confidence, the honesty, the LOVE.

I share this story because I know many of you are going through this holiday season without loved ones in your physical presence.  Know that they are in a special place and messengers when we need them.

Wishing you a holiday season filled with love, peace, joy and continual blessings.
