February 16, 2010...

On this day I lost my Best Friend, my Dad. At the time I honestly didn't think my life could get any harder, little did I know! 

My Dad and I had a bound a Father & Daughter rarely share.  I was his "teeny-weeny" and he was my Hero!  My Dad became very ill in November of 2009, he had suffered with leukemia for a few years, but in November he took a very rapid turn for the worse.  He entered hospice on February 12th and on February 16th, he lost his battle with cancer.

At the time I was struggling with the loss of my dad, I couldn't imagine life getting any harder.  Was I in for a huge surprise.  Less than 3 months after losing my dad, my life was about to change drastically, and I was not prepared to handle the trials that were about to come my way!

Moving On...

Today is my first official day as a "blogger".  In the past year, my life has taken insurmountable twists and turns and looking back on them I am finding that I am forgetting details of what has happened that has reshaped my life and who I am forever.

As best as my memory will allow, I am going to spend the next few posts reflecting on what has transpired in my life, the mistakes I made along the way, what I have learned and how I have grown. 

First; some background:

I am Christian and a Mom of 2 beautiful gifts from God.  My two girls are the most important thing to me and I cherish them every day.  I work full-time as an Executive Assistant for Special Education and I love my job.  I have also been married for 21 years, you will read more about this in later posts! 


These are the "Footprints of my Life"
