Time flies.  A whole week has passed since my last entry.  My birthday turned out to be one of the best I can remember.  All 12 of the kids showed up, even Sean who is in the Navy and stationed at Norfolk drove up for dinner.  They are such a blessing to me.  I honestly don't know where I'd be without them.  My best friend brought tacos for dinner and everyone had a great time.  My son bought me a beautiful angel holding the hands of a little boy and it brought tears to my eyes.  He also bought me a new light up decoration for the Christmas tree.  The kids bought me gift certificates for a massage and one for Starbucks and, of course, a bottle of wine.  It gives me hope that one day I will have a life again.  On the other side of life, I still can't touch his clothes or even think about cleaning out his closet and I'm apprehensive about the holidays coming up.  I have to remember to take one day, one moment at a time.
