Long time

I dreamed of my dead brother last night for the first time since his passing.  I have tried not to focus on his death but instead his life. It hasn't been easy. I have had to distance myself from some family for my own self protection.

I have made some not so great decisions this year and done things I swore I'd never do. But I learned some things about me. I have made my husband and kids realise that I need some time for me. I have started losing weight again and focusing on my health and well-being. I love my job but realise nothing lasts forever so I am learning all I can. If I don't stay there I can bring new skills to another job.

The kids are great. Sara is still trying to decide what to do with her life....working part time and taking a class in college. I pray she passes her final!

T.c. is awesome and loves Choir and art and can now read at a fourth grade level. I can't believe he'll be in high school next year.

All in all time marches on and I hope 2016 brings good things.
