Happy birthday Blog. Today marks ten years I have been blogging. It has been an amazing journey. I have a record of all the big things in our life and a lot of the mundane. I have been accused of slander by someone who doesn't know the meaning of words. He so obviously meant libel.
In that ten years I have lost my spouse and best friend in more ways than one. That is the biggest heartbreak that never heals. I have gained two grandchildren that live with me. I had great hopes that the parents would step up, but I knew in my heart that it wouldn't happen. My mom has had dementia that entire ten years and that is another heartbreak that doesn't heal. My son will always be an addict and hopefully someday in recovery.
I have talked about living with alcoholism, addiction, co-dependence. I have talked about dementia and its affects on the family. I have talked about the trials and tribulations of home ownership, car ownership, having a job, having a renter. I have talked about people who have come and gone. My life is my own. It is not a better life than anyone else's. It is not a harder life than anyone else's. It is the same and different. There are many things in my life that continue to break my heart and there are many things in my life that make me grateful.
Tens years of my story. Wonder what the next ten years will bring? On we go.
