A New Chapter

I started this blog with enthusiasm and new chapter in my life, after being single again. Then my father moved in because of severe health issues, my life took a turn. He was 87 when he died on March  15, 2013. Today I am 57 and it is my birthday, it is hard to celebrate something like that when my father has been gone for such a little while.  Yet I find myself trying to do so because it is expected and my kids want that for me. Don't get me wrong I am not putting on a happy face for them, but more for myself because my relationship with my dad honestly was ok at best. He was not an easy man to be around or take care of but I did none the less because he was my father. You do that for family, well at least that is what I do because I want no regrets at the end of my life and that is what I want my kids to see. Not selfishness but caring for someone because it is the respect they deserve. If we just treated people that we liked with goodness and not the rest what kind of world would this be?

So there it is a new chapter beginning in my life  - again.
