The end of a long year

It has now been just  a year since my daughter and son-in-law split up. 

Each holiday has past one time



Mother's Day

Father's Day

4th of July

Halloween

Thanksgiving

His Birthday (yeah, yeah  .. in my mind it counts)

Christmas

New Year's

The Anniversary

and now  Easter. 

The cycle is complete now.  I have survived one of each. 

For over ten years there was a birthday cake, a Christmas stocking, and an Easter basket. 

Now there is silence.  Accusations.  Assumptions. Misunderstandings.  Hurt.  Pain.  Tears.   Lots of  tears. 

I know many do not understand  my feelings.  Only those closest to me know.

I am not as strong as everyone thinks I am. 


Not even as strong as I like to believe I am.

  1. Yes, you are. Your biggest strength is in your weakness, that part of you that is human, fragile, and gets hurt. Because you have that side, yet still overcome and grow from the hurt. Your strength is inspiring to me. :)
