About me

Gender	Female
Introduction	I am a 37-year-old recent widow (although I still consider myself to be a wife) and a mother. I am not a writer but it is something I have always enjoyed. Sometimes there is a purpose to what I write or an occasion to write about. Mostly it is just my way to record random thoughts and memories that pop into my head. I started a blog shortly after my husband died for several reasons. If it helps those in my life to get a better picture of what's inside my mind and my heart, it is worth it. But most of all, I write for selfish reasons. I write to have a permanent record of this very difficult journey. I write so I never forget, so I can see any progress I make, and as an outlet for my emotions. This is my way of opening up and processing all of the feelings that would otherwise remain locked inside of me. So this is my "story". Sometimes I will write about bittersweet memories of the past. Sometimes I will pour my heart out about the pain and tears, the happiness and laughter, of the present day. Other times I may write about my hopes and fears for the future. Don't we all wonder how the rest of our story will play out? Here's to looking backwards...and living forward.
