274/365 Robin



5 years ago today my ex commited suicide. 5 years ago mile life changed
forever. For the first 2 years I didn't stop crying. I cried every single
day. My girls lost their mom, even though I was still in the house, I
couldn't function, I stopped living. I will never forget that call from the
police, or the pauses in that conversation as the officer tried to find the
right words to tell me he was gone. All of those memories still make me
sad. But today, as I stood on a beautiful beach in the bright sun, and
watched my daughters and husband laugh, and with every shutter click I was
made aware of Gods Love for me. I wasn't sure for a long time, but now, I
am.

Robin, I am sitting here with tears welling up. I'm so sorry that you have this tragedy in your life. I'm so happy for you that you have found a wonderful husband and you and your girls have found happiness again.

My heart goes out to you. I am not a stranger to the devastating effects of sucide. I'm glad you have a wonderful hubby now too.
