2018 started out pretty rough. My mom passed away the end of Feb after battling cancer for many years. But, since we know she's better off and in Heaven, we've been able to move forward easier.
We took an amazing vacation this Aug and made many wonderful family memories. We did have some close friends move away, which made things difficult (especially for my youngest since it was her best friend), but we were able to visit with them in Oct. AND, now they have moved back, so we get to reestablish those friendships again.
Nov I was slightly in a depressed state as I was feeling the loss of my mom as the holidays approached. I didn't think it would be bad until Dec, but Nov was bad. Moving closer to Christmas, it may get bad again, for now I am focusing on the memories and traditions to get me through.
I'm looking forward to 2019! I'm praying it's a much better year for our family. WE also have another amazing family vacation planned that we are all looking forward too!
