Today remembrance of an end to a time in my life that held me anchored to place I had only expected to be a short duration.
We had bought a home only to spend time with our family and care for my beautiful granddaughter.
The plan was to stay until she went off to Kindergarten.
However, life has a way of teaching us plans may have a way of changing when you least expect it.
You see, with the death of my adoring husband I was left with adjusting to life's curve ball.
I found the best course of action was to stay gainfully employed and wait until the time was ripe for selling the home.
We had envisioned the purchase for remodel and flipping with our eventual planned departure within a short few short years.
So five years later after my husband's death in 2014, I finally completed the repairs and updates I needed to sell and retire with savings funds/plus a widow's pension to help make the bank account look nice.
This day in 2019 the second home sold and I walk away free to go home and begin life again.
To tell you the truth...
I was excited and fearful all at once.
This really struck home that the end of that era was over and I had to walk on through the next part of my life without him.
I am fortunate in life with many things to be "Thankful" for now but there is still the heart's hole that will always be there.
You never know how "strong" you are until being "strong" is the only choice you have.
So here I am today dedicated to continue to march forward.
