    I have finally passed the one year mark since Mike died.  The firsts for everything has come to an end.  I am trying very hard to stay optimistic as that is the way Mike would have wanted me to be.  He was a very positive person.  I took a big step the day after the 1st anniversary and removed my wedding band.  I am not interested in anyone at this point and time but just...
