I have been mia and trying to get back on track. The wedding was wonderful. My grandmother passed away before I could get to Ga to see her and that was hard and is hard. One thing I know is that her mama came to get her. They said that she was talking to her mama when she took her last breaths. I am grateful that she did not suffer and it is only my selfishness that makes me wish I could have seen her to touch her and hug her one last time, but I know she knows I love her and I know she loves me. Got the call the day before the wedding. It was hard going through the motions but I did not want to put a damper on my stepdaughter's wedding so I asked DH that we keep it to ourselves. I hated calling my daughter to tell her as she was trying to finish up her schooling and her tests.

My daughter did graduate and is a Hospital Corpsman; she got to come home so that was great to see her. She is now settled in at Walter Reed in Bethesda MD. She is so fortunate to be working with our Wounded Warriors. So I am very proud of her. I think I have gotten myself back on track finally. ...good thing is my clothes still fit so I have not done too much damage.

It is snowing today so maybe that will help me feel like getting in the holiday spirit. I think of the holiday's coming up and it is just the two of us and fels like no reason to even decorate. I did not decorate for Halloween like I did last year, and honestly had DH not turned on the porch light I don't think I would have even handed out candy....I know that is terrible. I am trying to get out of this funk that I have been in.

Oh Jaime, I've been wondering where you were. So sorry about your grandma, it's always so darn hard to get over a loved ones passing, especially during the holiday season. I really wonder if we ever do "get over it". Try to climb back up on the wagon here, if you ever need a helping hand mine is stretched right out ready to grab onto you at any moment. Anything you need girlfriend.

Welcome back and so sorry for your loss; sadness mixed with the joy of the wedding and your daughter passing her exams. It's not easy being filled will all these emotions, no wonder you got off track, but your clothes still fit, that is a definite plus. And I hear you that the holidays will be different for you this year. I dislike Christmas so I would have no issue with not decorating but I would definitely miss my daughter were I not able to see her. Hoping you and DH can find something special to do that will in some way help to get through the holidays as empty nesters. Your pride in your daughter must go some way towards that I am sure. Good luck in getting back on track.
