It’s been a while since I’ve made a personal update on this blog, and frankly, that’s because it’s been a few years of deep loss. In 2022, I went through a divorce. In 2023, I lost my beloved father after a long battle with dementia.
Three years later, and I’m slowly emerging. But Father’s Day on Sunday presents a renewed challenge. Already, my father’s birthday last week had me in the doldrums.
But this Father’s Day, I’m choosing to focus on the goodness I do have. The fact that my ex-husband, Luke, is such an excellent father and co-parent who would do anything for our daughter. The fact that my father was just one of the best people I know, and that I had him in my life for as long as I did.
Life doesn’t always work out how we plan it, but somehow we still get to keep going. And for that I’m grateful.
