25 Months and what I've learned...

25 months have passed and I've learned a lot over these two plus years.

I haven't had an easy time dealing with Mom's passing but I honestly feel that I am dealing well with it. John is my rock and I really give him a lot of credit. He's there for me with all of my ups and downs.

My heart does ache for James as he is lost and lonely. He misses Mom dearly. I pray that God will comfort his heart.
