I recently had to make an extremely difficult decision that I did not want to make at all, but it was one of those where you know you are going to be miserable for a while, but happier in the long run. No need to go on about the details, but thank the good heavens for my wonderful mother. Without her I would not be able to do this and stay hopeful for my future. She wrote me an encouraging email and I just want to share a small excerpt from it.

"You know I love you beyond words. You are blessed with a tender heart which loves more, and hurts more. But you are also very, very strong and can survive this. I truly believe that the end of the rainbow is in sight, you're just going to have to forge on.
All my love,
Mom"

I love this woman so much! Thank you mom for mourning with me when I mourn, and comforting me when I stand in need of comfort. You truly are one of the greatest blessings in my life.

Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to try my hardest to forge on. With my head up.
