Over the past three years, you have gone through my struggles with caregivers, Lucie's illness and death and my having to leave the only home I have ever lived in. You've been through it all with me. Fifty-seven years is a long time. I am not sure l will ever completely get over leaving my home. The good news is I have fifty-seven years' worth of memories. I wrote about almost everything that was happening in my life. My hope was that you would see that a person with a disability struggles, fails, succeeds, but no matter what, they keep going.
This has been the hardest year of my life. However, I have had some wonderful opportunities come my way, as a result of my writing, since moving here. For that I am grateful.
I am thankful that I am still able to volunteer at my library. That's one thing that has remained the same. It takes a little longer to get there now, but it is so worth it to me.
This blog isn't perfect. You may find a misspelled word or a comma missing. I apologize for that. I hope that you look past the grammatical errors and read it for the message I am trying to convey...In every single post, the underlying message is the same. I am a person just like you. I am doing my best to have a meaningful life.
Here's to 100 more.
