Yes, I am in the dumps a lot but I was just reflecting on some of the things I am thankful for. I don’t know if things will work out with W or not but I am truly blessed to have had her in my life for the last 14 years. Oh geez, I am getting chocked up writing this. I am also so lucky to have 2 amazing children that I love so much.

My neighbors are amazing. I am nice to them and they are nice in return, imagine that! The other day one of them took me flying. Another one came by and invited the kids and I over to their house to just hang out. We had fun putting down a couple drinks while the kids picked fruits and vegetables from their amazing garden. Another neighbor stopped by and said “I consider you a friend, I am here for you. I’ve been in a similar situation before. You let me know if you need anything”. I am friends with another neighbor that’s a cop. He takes me for ride a longs every now and then. He patrols a really rough city so when I go on patrol with him it’s nonstop action. It’s a lot of fun.

Everyone from my helpful friends on this board to my great neighbors and my wonderful children. It’s amazing how caring people in the world can take a really awful situation and bring some sunshine into something that seems so grey. Love to all!
