All About Us

A LITTLE BACKGROUND

On June 23, 2016, I became a widow. My husband Aaron, lost his battle with cancer. He fought valiantly for 2 1/2 years, but it just became too much for his body to handle and he answered God's call to him. He left behind three pretty cool kids. Rahmil who is our oldest, is now 17. Rahsaan who is stuck in the middle is 12. Bringing up the rear is Aryn Paige, she's 7 and so very awesome. I marvel at the resilience of children. If only we could move through life with the same ease as them. I am now a widowed, single mom of 3. I work, take classes (sometimes), run our home and juggle about a million things a day, all while trying not to lose my mind. I never really had time for the breakdown I deserved, so I started writing. Initially, I wrote just to get everything out. After allowing some friends and family to read a few of my posts, they encouraged me to make the blog public so that I could help others. They say out of your pain your purpose is born. I never thought my purpose would be to help others in their time of grief. Maybe by allowing people to see that despite the life shattering loss my family has experienced, they will see how we have learned to keep moving. No matter what you are going through, life does go on and you have to figure out how to go along with it.
