Tomorrow another first will happen. Tomorrow my oldest will start his final year of high school. EEEEK! Where has the time gone? Mama's pretty sure he was only 2 just yesterday.
For me, my firsts started about a month ago when my husband walked out. My first time being responsible for all the things he used to do. My first time surviving a major weather situation without his checking in. My first time learning to live without a helpmate.
None of those are my idea of fun. I've been angry, sad, hurt, forgiving, and finally I'm getting to be closer to acceptance of this situation.
I'm a lucky girl and because of these new firsts, I can truly appreciate just how lucky I am. I live close to both my brother and father who are incredibly resourceful people. They made sure we had every thing we needed during hurricane Irene. They have offered me shoulders to lean on and hugged me when it gets hard. They are my blessings.
I also have a very close friendship with my mother. We talk about everything. We spend lots of time with each other and she helps me with my boys by giving me breaks when I need them. She is also a blessing.
See I told you I'm a lucky girl!
So, bring on the firsts! I might have rough days but I'm still breathing and that is a good thing.
