its been a while.

So much has happened in a year, but I'm finally ready to be myself again.

My last post Dated 12/22/06 was the date that my father went into the hospital (he fell and broke his hip) and where he stayed for three months (there were so many complications) and passed away on February 28, 07. Seems so odd to me to have spent a year with out him. After the death of my father, I was really distraught. I didn't want to have or attend parties or celebrations - I felt like all the happiness hope and joy left me. It was like I had a dark cloud over my head hovering and preventing me from break out of my shell for a year. I know that a lot suffered for that too. My work, family and friend relationships. I'm just so thankful I have that handful of great people in my life who really understand me.

Even with the extra burdens on me this passed year, i'm ready to put it aside and really try to get out and live my life.
