This past year

I have been trying to post something for the past week, but as you all know, life is crazy busy this time of the year.

But here I am writing an entry while getting ready to go to the airport in few hours to start my flight to Lausanne, to celebrate my husband's achievement with him. I am celebrating my achievement as well. It has been a long year, full of emotions, successes, failures, hope and excitement. I have grown too.. This year was a great learning experience to me. it made me appreciate the hubby more :-) and appreciate single mothers as well... 

I remember that same time last year, when we were preparing for Sam's departure, how difficult it was to be away from him. How difficult it was for him to be away from his daughters, who mean the whole world to him. This year, at this same time of the year, we are preparing for his graduation, for his dream to come true. We are preparing for his home coming, for spending Christmas with him, and being able to attend our daughters' Christmas concert at school.

We are now looking forward to see what the future holds for us, as new doors open and new beginnings appear in sight.. But first, let's have a blast and enjoy the graduation ceremony this weekend..

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow..

Heidy

3 weeks have passed

Three weeks have passed since Sam left Canada and began his pursuit of happiness.. He started his challenge and I started mine too.. It is not easy to be a single mother for 2 little girls who miss their daddy desperately... This year is not going to be an easy one, but it is a choice.. We made this choice together, so we will make the best out of the year together.. The first week was tough, sad and depressing, but I decided to make the best out of this year.. It will be a good one.. I would focus on the positive aspect of it.. Sam is going to be challenged, is going to build his knowledge and will make his dream come true... By doing this he will be a happier man and he will enjoy what he is doing..
Hopefully this positive look at things continues for the next while, even if we might be faced with some bumps in the road.. We will see, the year is still young..
