Life is certainly different now, but I'm in a better place than I was last year at this time. I was reflecting yesterday that I do not even remember the last two holiday seasons. It's incredible what the mind blocks out. I'm thankful for the family I have and Joey's family that is quickly becoming family to me as well. I'll also repeat what I said Thanksgiving 2012; right after Steve died: " I am grateful for people who purpose to pray for us. I read another blog that said it so perfectly, "Friends you thought would be there won’t be there, and people you hardly know will reach out." It is exactly like that. There are people that I have never even met or some I haven't seen in years that text or facebook message me just to let me know they are praying; that means more than I can ever say."
It is still exactly like that!
