august 20

this day is burned into my mind for eternity.
it is a day of probably the most pain i have ever been in
and the day of liberation.
3 years ago today i got the call that nanette had died
getting that call rocked my world to it's core
and changed my perspective on life
and what i wanted out of it
getting that call helped me to gain the courage
1 year to the day latter
to leave my horrific marriage
and to never look back.
today august 20th is just a reminder
my life is good today, i have never been so loved,
and adored, and the fact that that man is my best friend
makes it even more encompassing.
my children are starting to slowly heal
i am even having more and more moments
of enjoying being a mother.
in the words of our friend rick k
i've never had it so good!

As cliche it sounds, opportunities do present themselves in the most unlikely ways.

I was so sad to hear about Nannette.

I am so happy that you are in the place you are today.

having it good is ok, but having it spectacular would be so much better.

I still feel so sorry for you whenever I see you mention her. The pain is still there. Just deeper. I love you and I wish you never suffered this.
Much love. Mike

a sobering reminder
It was timely I read this entry for I am healing from 2 deaths recently of close friends. Your words will help me down the track, thanks for sharing them with me.
