New Beginnings

Well, today is Sept. 8th, Jessi’s birthday, she would have been 31 years old. These past months have passed agonizingly slow for me as I have been doing everything in my power to make time pass. I understand a lot of people out there are trying to do the opposite, to hang onto every moment and every memory, but it hurts too bad for me to do that. I will always have beautiful memories of Jess and our life together, but the time has come for me to move on to the next chapter. I chose this date a while back as a goal to work toward, a date that I could put some closure into my life. From this day forward, my mourning period is over and I will smile when I think of Jess instead of cry. I will always feel the pain, but I will use it to make me stronger.

The girls and I have instituted a plan that seems to work on a day to day basis. We all understand what needs to get done and it is working well. As far as a social life, ha, that’s non-existent, but I feel closer to my girls than ever before. After all, they are all I have left of Jessi.

I hope this finds everyone well and if a tear forms in the corner of your eye it is dried by someone you love. Thank you to everyone who has been such a support to my family. We’ll move on from here allowing God to lead.

Y’all take care.
