I did something today that I wasn't sure I could do. Even though I used to live in Atlanta, the area of Atlanta that I had to be at this morning at 8:00 was not a familiar place. I don't like driving on the expressway into Atlanta especially at that time of morning. Lots of traffic. When I got to my destination, I had to park, which cost me $10.00!! I had to walk a block down the road all by myself. All of this was so new to me and I was a little scared. But, I did it and I did it all by myself!
I remember when I was the photographer for the year book when my daughter was in the 2nd grade, her teacher said to me, "When you can't find help, you just do it all by yourself." I guess she was right.
This really made me mad at my late husband! This is the first time that I really was angry at him for leaving me! How dare him leave me like this! He left so he didn't have to deal with everything and now I have a mess to fix. I still will always love him, but dang, I'm just so angry right now. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
I finished what he started. I was told that I was crazy by someone when I paid off our Attorney! I told this person, that my husband started it and I was going to see to it that it was finished! This is what he wanted. Today, it was finished!
This week has been a very busy week for me. I'm not used to going somewhere every single day of the week. But I have to do what I have to do.
The one thing that hurts me the most besides my husband taking his own life, is that people still blame me for what he did. Even though I carry guilt, it was not my fault and I didn't drive him to do it. It was HIS choice, not mine. The people who blame me don't have a clue what my husband and I went through the last 2 years of his life. We were fine in our marriage, but not with his business.
Sherry....remember the little train "I think I can!" and you will! I am so glad that you have moved on, you don't think so but I see it in you. "Keep the faith and your eyes to the road."
