Moving on





It  has been over two months since we lost Allen. It has been one of the hardest things I have ever been through. Allen loved me and I knew it. He embraced me into his family and was happy that his son choose me. Nate really rolled the dice on a single teenage mom when he asked me out on our first date and from the moment I met my father in law he took me under his wing. My life is great, I have remarkable children, and a wonderful husband and family. I have great friends. I had Allen too, and I loved him. He loved me. When I think of my favorite people he was one of them
   



I am lucky to be part of a family that gets it. They don't suck, they are not mean, they help one another and they don't judge. I am not perfect and they are ok with that. We miss Allen, it's still hard, and it's going to take time to feel better. It snowed today and I watched Nate shovel our walks and play in the snow with Cassidy. He helped Coby with his snow tires... what would I be without Nate? I hope Joyce can find some peace, she raised a great son. I hope somewhere along the way that can help her not be sad.
A tree on our street. We got at least 4 inches of snow.

Such a sweet post, Lacie. Made me cry. I agree that they are a great family and I think of you all so much. Allen made you feel loved. I can think of nothing greater than making sure the ones we love know it. So thankful for his example of that.
