Moving Forward

[MonicaP]

H wished me a Happy Birthday today. Said he was sincere about it. A better present though was when he said he got a job!

One year ago today I was "celebrating" my birthday having our last counseling session after kicking H out 2 days prior. I was facing all of the holidays - and as it turned out - the next year (and rest of my life) without H.

I am sad, but I just keep walking forward.

I am praying for acceptance so that I can truly feel happiness again.

My S4 gives me joy, as do many friends, family and experiences. I just look forward to the day when there is no longer an undercurrent of sadness and loss for my H and the family life we shared for a while.

I need all of you, your strength and inspiration, through the holidays! I'll be here for you too.
