I think grieving for what we have lost is an important part of recovery. It is sad that our lives are forever changed. I miss the things that my husband and I used to do together. I have to constantly remind myself that it sure does beat the alternative. Clark and I have had to rearrange our perspectives and when you get to the core, it is what it is. So we go on and make the most of what we have and where we are. The simplest things have become more important...like watching the sun set, observing the fox in our backyard, enjoying a funny movie, and spending time with our grandchildren. And then I think, we are pretty darn lucky.

My best to you all-
Anita
