IB,

You can be proud of how you've handled all of this. That is what will be remembered by your loved ones.

This is all about you and your journey now. It's what you choose to make of it. The power that is yours is within your reach. Grab hold and use it. Don't let anyone take it from you again.

Last year, I lost Christmas. It was only a couple months later from receiving the bomb. I let the pain and memories from Christmas past consume me and my misery affected my children. That will NEVER happen again. I took my power back and I will give no one that right to take away my time from me again. I choose to make this a joyous time for me and my loved ones despite what H has and is doing.

Let go of what your H is and does right now. It's not about him unless you let it be. You have the choice here, we all do. Let God take care of our MLCers, and it will be just as it was meant to be.

(((HUGS))) your strength and determination is showing!!!
