Hi there!!
I know I've been MIA for a really long time. Thank you for all of your prayers from my last post. There has been so much going on since I last posted. I guess I'll start with the bad. My husband and I have separated and as of two weeks ago, have officially divorced after 12 years. I can't begin to tell you how much heart-ache this process has brought me. I've been feeling rejection, worthlessness and at the beginning of this process, suicide was an option. I definitely have been grieving all over again. However, when you loose a child you know there's no way that you can fix that loss. With divorce or a separation pending you pray that you can work out the situation where the two of you can rebuild. I love Jose. I can't deny that----I never will stop loving him. We had wonderful memories no one can ever replace or take away, however, he decided that a life with me is not somthing he wanted to continue. He still has a relationship with our children, which is great. He is a good person and I wish him the best. I pray for him daily and ask Jeremiah to watch over him.

Now for the good. First off my two beautiful living children are well and healthy. M is now 4 and my rainbow V is 16 months.

I've also formed a stronger and deeper relationship with God. I've joined the women's CRHP group at my church and was asked to become the spiritual director for the next women's retreat.I have a great support system with new beautiful friends. I've found so much comfort in Him and in scripture. He has led me to a greater path of understanding and overcoming many of my fears. He also helps me build a stronger bond with my Jeremiah.
"For I alone know the plans I have for you. Plans to bring you hope and a future" ---Jeremiah 29:11
I still get little hellos from heaven. This frog, my students named Hoppy, was hanging outside my classroom window. I loved it!!
Although I have become a single working mom, I now cherish the time I do have with my kids that much more.
I've also taken up Zumba. I love dancing and Zumba is a perfect fit. I've also made some great new friends along the way.

I've also started doing more for me. I'm planning a trip to Europe this upcoming summer and have been doing things on my bucket list like going to an NBA Finals game, paintball,etc. As a mom and a wife I lost myself in my roles. I know it sounds weird but I'm slowly remembering who I really am. I'm a strong, beautiful woman.

Finally, I have realized how strong my prior friendship are as well as my relationship with my family. My mom has been so amazing and supportive. I love my best friends and my family.
