Blessing In Disquise

Well once again, here I am thinking about a holiday a week later.

Reflecting on the day, and just the memories we made that day.

I'm speaking about Easter.

I sat in the yard after the Grand babies had their Easter Egg Hunt and I just watched them

play together, running around, laughing.

As I watched them I began to just thank God that I was here and enjoying their laughter

and their constant running up and giving me loves.

I realized that day, the past year with the drama, and the unknowing about what was going to 

happen to me, brought my family closer.

I watched and smiled with such happiness watching my youngest three children, talking and laughing, and watching their children play.   I overheard one of them say; hey how cool is it

that our kids are playing together at their Mombo's house, the same way we did at Nana's house when we were their age.  They all of course agreed.

I just felt such a warm, peaceful feeling at that moment, like everything that had happened was over and I was just so blessed to have my children rally around me;  not only were they there for me, but for each other.   

I know that things with Nick will never be good, and I also know that since Nick has decided to

 not be apart of this family, things are so much calmer, easier and happier, as hard as it is to finally say it, I'm at peace with it.  Oh it bothers me, but not as much as it did even 6 months ago.

I feel so blessed so happy that my youngest three have such a strong bond, and love each other,

oh they still fuss with each other, but as they grow older I begin to see that they have come to realize that family is so important, and in an instant things can change.

So I know now that the past year's events were just:
