New Developments

It’s been a while…okay…a LONG while since I’ve written anything.  But a lot has went on in the past year I’ve taken off.  I know that it’s made me a stronger person and better able to understand and appreciate the role of a mother in her child’s life - and let’s leave it at that.  Let me begin this new “phase” of blogging with some new developments.  My daughter and I are moving into our own apartment this week.  It’s brand new never-been-lived-in, 1 floor (which is perfect for her), 2 bedrooms and even has an attached garage!  To be honest, I’ve never parked in a garage before.  Now, I’m not saying I’ve never had one, just that it’s been too full of crap to fit a bike in there let alone a van.  It will be nice to move from my temporary residence (a.k.a. mom and dad’s) to a place of my own again.  I’m looking forward to new opportunities, new friendships and new experiences that recent life-altering events have inadvertently opened up for me.  The days are still riddled with good and bad and I’m not, in the least, healed emotionally.   I focus now in keeping my most precious possession safe, in an environment in which she can thrive and with a person who she can count on to take care of her - me.
