A Beautiful Quote I read Today!

"When people show you who they are believe them!"

I do believe.  I believe this with actions/intentions shown to me that shined the light on how closed minded & horrible people can be & I believe this with actions/intentions that have shown me how wonderful, forgiving & patient people can be.  It is hard to believe how far I have come in just a year.  Life was so different back then.  I have forgotten some things-not a lot, but a few & with forgetting I have forgiven-but mainly I am proud of how I have healed.  How I have managed it, and how I have keep my head held high the entire time.  I have nothing to be ashamed of, I have no one to apologize to, not even myself.

My family, despite how it could have turned-has thrived through adversity of many kinds.  I am proud of us all, my children, my husband & I.  The grace and appreciation shown by those who love and understand has been amazing.  It's been truly eye opening.

Some of you will never get rid of me now-some of you will never get me or my family back (not truly)...and we are all okay with that.  It's not much of a sacrifice when you think about all we have gained.
