To all who have loved and lost,
The reason for this update is to share my life over the holidays.
Freinds and family told me it would be hard, but I was strong and had
closure my children and I were moving on with our lives! Or so we
thought.
As the holidays approached, so did the demand of filling a pair of
shoes that can never be filled, try as I might the reality of Mendy
being gone set in. The pain and heart felt sorrow deepend.
I woke up the Monday before Thanksgiving and had a strange feeling,
the kids asked if we would have x-mas this year and would it be a
good one, one with lights a tree, presents, happiness etc. That was
it, I at that point looked up and asked Mendy to help me make this a
great holiday.
Instead of sending the kids off on the bus, I drove them (they like
that) and I played hooky from work and got all the x-mas stuff out
and up. After school I picked up the kids and took them home to a
decorated house with tree,lights,nutcrakers, and all the goodies the
kids love to play with.
This one day 180 dregree turn of attitude and spirit took a sad
period and beacame joyous!
This just goes to show you, that grief comes and goes the light of
life can get brighter if you look to the one you lost and ask for a
little help. No one can do it for you or tell you how to deal with
it, the situation is yours and yours alone, or not if you look to the
spirit of the one you lost.
Mendy was there for me when I needed her most and I now know she will
always be there for me and everyone, just ask!
Love to all and have a great 2005,
Fester
