Heartbroken

On Saturday, May 16, 2015, a dear sweet friend and soon to be sister-in-law lost her battle with heroin. She was a 26 year old Mother of two, a sister, a daughter, an Aunt, a cousin, a girlfriend, and a friend. The world is a little darker without her beautiful light shining. She fought her addiction for so long. She deserved to have so much more and be clean and to be able to watch her babies grow. Her son will celebrate his first birthday soon without his Mother there to see it. Her daughter will be 5 soon and will be starting school and she will not have Mommy there on her first day of school. My poor boyfriend's Mother is burying a second child. No Mother should have to endure that kind of pain. My heart is broken.

Life Changes

If someone would have told me a few years ago that I would be where I am today, I would have laughed in their face. Life has funny way of changing on you just when you think you have a grip on everything. I thank God for unanswered prayers. I also thank him for answered ones. Smiles all around.
