One year ago, this Thursday, I went to work as usual. I got home, ate dinner, got myself dressed for the meeting, and helped my kids get ready like I usually did.
One person died that evening, the JW Ricky G.
It's been a struggle since then, I have to admit. Losing everything in your life, family and friends, and nearly losing my marriage as well, is traumatic. I had nothing, and no one to talk to except my 7 and 5 year old kids.
But I have weathered the storm and as we say in Texas, theres always a rainbow after a tornado. Good things are slowly falling in place and I can honestly say that despite the hardships, life is getting better each day.
How could I ever forget that Thursday July 24, 2014?! My daughters birthday will always have a very special meaning to me. Tomorrow I will celebrate my daughters birthday and let her have her big day, for the very first time. But today....
Cheers to being FREE!
