Does anyone watch the "Biggest Loser"? There is a contestant, Abby, who lost her husband and only 2 children to a car accident (the other driver hit them head on going over 100 mph!). She has had a horrible journey, but is now finding strength. She just inspires me every time I watch, but last night they featured her story. I just cried and cried, knowing that her pain is 3 times mine, and yet she is coming out strong and determined to find happiness again. If you didn't watch it, see if you can find it online. She is amazing!
I am so missing Nic more than ever right now. I know it's his birthday, and the holidays chipping away at my strength right now. I know the holidays are hard on all of us. I wish you all peace and strength to get through the coming months. And thank you for being a part of my life. You mean more to me than you will ever know.
Love, Julia

These types of stories give me a peek into the resiliency and courage in the human spirit. Moving from surviving into thriving is my daily mantra and prayer. I'm with you, Julia, and thank you for sharing this. Holiday time can be very challenging and I suspect we'll all be leaning on one another a lot. Thank goodness for companions on this journey. Hugs, Joanie

I've never watched that program but I'm in awe just hearing about her story. It seems so unimaginable, but I guess we never know what we are made of or what we can do unless given that situation. There are so many stories of heartache and then triumph that we should always be inspired to find strength and happiness again. Holidays are always difficult but we get through them together, thank goodness! Love to you friend. Robin

I did not watch it last night, but I did see her on the opening show of the season. She is amazing and such incredible strength....and to be so young and endure all of this,. The holidays and birthdays are hard, but as Robin said we will all get through them together. Hugs to you, Kim

That human will to survive is amazing. WE know that...somewhere along this journey we have thought...it would be okay if I died...but we don't. Something gets us up everyday and strive for peace again...hope again...love again...happiness again. And just like Abby...we keep trying....love and hugs..Karen
