Both her children are in the armed forces AND work as police officers. Last year around this time both were deployed within a month of each other and her brother, who lived with her, passed away a month later.
She told me she didn't know how she did it, she just kept going.
The holidays are upon us and my bad habit of getting myself all crappy about it has started. But why? My children are safe and happy. I am with a man I love who treats me like gold. I have much to be grateful for. There is no reason to carry the old negativity by rehashing the past over and over as far back as i can remember.
She kept going. And things WILL get better eventually. I know this first hand.
