I heard Meg scream for me yesterday and I ran out on to the porch to see what was wrong. A bird had flown into the screen. I went out to check on it, but it wasn't moving. I felt so sad looking at the beautiful creature. It made me realize how fragile life is. How fast it can all be over. This delicate creature flying with his robin family just minutes before now lay lifeless. The only movement was the trickle of blood dripping from his mouth. I went and got a shovel and a towel. I wrapped him gently and buried him. I picked a hibiscus flower from the tree and laid it on the freshly disturbed earth. Some of the robins he had been flying with were still in my yard. I felt sad for them, I knew they felt the loss.
Thinking over how short life can be, I was thrilled that my husband and I could communicate again and even reflected on the fact it was 23 years ago to the day that we agreed to marry. We have too much invested in each other for it all to end in hate. I'm so glad things are turning around for the better. I don't want to fight anymore.
Things are looking up in all areas of my life. The kids are so happy with the new choices we made, things are getting better for my business. Rich may even be getting a new job. The evil that haunted us for the past few months seems to be disappearing from our lives. I couldn't be more grateful.

Hey Jesse! It's been a while. I didn't know you read my blog. :) I am very fortunate to have the people I have in my life. Things are going well right now. Rich is a Godsend. I don't know what I would do without him, my kids and my family.
