My divorce was finalized
Brandon moved in
Shane changed medications a couple times with some bumpy months of new/old issues
Spring finally arrived! (which means my outdoor activities increased!)
At the end of it all, I have so many things to be grateful for and am finding the peace and support I have longed for and needed so much.
Most importantly, I am happy.
I look forward to my weekends and I look forward to going home after work.
I get to do things for me...and I don't feel guilty.
I can take care of my family and they love me for it.
Brandon and Shane love me for who I am and all that I am. I feel accepted in my home and I don't feel like I have to change for even a second to make someone else happy. In turn, I accept them for who they are so they feel they can be who they are. It's the balance within a family that I have never felt before.
Shane is happy too, and doing incredibly well. He is exceling in school, his behavior has been a complete turn around since we started him on some new meds and found a way for him to get a decent nights sleep. I am so thankful for modern day medicine. He also has a loving and attentive father who has been wonderful with him. I asked Shane last weekend if he had a fun day and he said to Brandon and I, "Thank you for making my life better." I can honestly say that this boy needed his father for so many things I couldn't give him. I am thankful every day for the path that led me back to him. Not only for Shane, but for all he does to make my life better too.
Change is often times, the best possible option for improvement in life.
So....I can't wait for summer. Spring has been a blast but we are ready to take the skiis out, have some BBQ's, enjoy some fun activities, hang out with some awesome friends, and be together as a family for the first time in many years.
