Heartbroken

It's been a very long time since I have posted anything and I am not sure exactly what to say. The purpose of me writing this was in my small way to maybe help even just one person going through something similar as well as to keep track of the comings and goings of life.

A major going has taken place in my life. My husband of 21 years walked out on me a few months ago. He chose to give up on our life rather than deal with the plan and promises God had given us. I know it is not easy on a marriage when one spouse or child is ill, but as I took my wedding vows as sacred, this has left me heart broken.

So now my journey goes forward as a single person. I am really too new in this leg of my journey to offer advice to anyone except to say it does get better and you will survive this. I didn't believe it a couple months ago, but now I do. The other important thing I needed to come to understand was his leaving had nothing to do with me. Of course I am not blameless, I was half the problem. But I had been invested already in two years of both marriage and individual counseling and was willing to do whatever it took(as long as it was healthy) to make my marriage work. The one thing in my life I was not and am not is a quitter. The choices he made had nothing to do with me and now my job is to move forward.

Of course the first thing I am going to do when I am in the position to do it is get more boxers! I still have my lovely Daisha, but as I am used to way more feet hitting the floor, that will be rectified as soon as possible. I also hope to train a puppy as my service dog as I miss Max very much. Especially now having a service dog would be very helpful. I would not have made it through this without the unconditional love of my girl!

So just a quick update and I hope to soon be posting new adventures, loves and the patter of many more boxers. As it should be!
