It's Been a While

Hello everyone.  Not a whole lot going on these days except for packing and finding a house since my house is SOLD!  We have rented a storage room so that we can move some boxes everyday.  Then on moving day, there won't be as much.

I've lost a total of 87 lbs so far and I'm very pleased with the results.  I was on vacation last week and enjoyed my time with my boys.  They are truly special to me and love them with all my heart.  Geoff and I are adventuring into a new life together, into a new home that will be ours and where we can make our own memories.  I'm really anxious for that.  My house is alright, but too many memories that I want to leave there.

I had Peter's ashes in the garden at the front of the house.  I was going to bring him to a lake that he and I used to go to almost every weekend.  However, after thinking about it, I contacted his sister Marion and asked if the family wanted his ashes.  She was delighted to know that I was giving them the chance to hold on to him.  I've already passed him over to the family and I feel really good about it.  I was always afraid that if I gave him away that I would forget his face, but I will always remember Peter.  I will be moving away from the home that Peter knew, and didn't feel right bringing him with us to our new home. 

The family will be burying him next to his father.  I told Marion that I didn't want to be part of the burial, that I felt that I've moved on and am ready to let go.  I did ask her to put a rose with Peter for me and she agreed.  She smiled, gave me a hug, and said she was really happy for me.

Another chapter of my life that I can close.  It feels good and now I have a new chapter with Geoff that keeps blooming more and more everyday.  I love Geoff very much and really appreciate all the understanding and compassion that he gave me during this decision about Peter. 

Now my new life begins....a new chapter....a happy loving relationship and a new home!

It just keeps getting better and better.

Cheers,
Dee :D
