It's been a year since I wrote my first post. I am relieved to look back at the post and see how far I have come. I'm healing. I still hate being alone. I still hate that I have to do this alone. But, I can say those things without the bitterness that I hear in my previous post. I was blessed this year with a wonderful friend who took time out of his busy family life to give my girls back-to-school blessings. He took time to remember that I don't have anyone to give those. He took time to ask the girls what they were concerned with and what types of blessings they might want from Heavenly Father. So much is still the same as last year, but so much has changed as well. Thankfully, it stings just a little bit less this year.
