What's in a date

Today will mark my first entry to this blog. Will I remember this date 31 years from today as I remembered almost to the second every move I made 31 years ago yesterday? Something tells me that this morning will be lost as so many before has been lost.

Yesterday was one of those days you remember for a lot of reasons... I was young, I had no idea what turns my life would take, it was a day to be happy. It was the day I got married. I was on top of the world...

At the age of 21, I thought I had the answer to all the questions. As it turns out I didn't even have a clue to what the questions were.

We had our first little girl 1 1/2 years later. It was hard living in a one bed room apt and with me working the midnight shift. We made it. I guess that's the one thing about being young... you can do anything.

Looking back from where I sit this morning.... never would I have dreamed that I would be sitting here writting this alone. For the past 7 years I've been here... my daughers coming to live with me off and on. 31 years ago I woke up with a new bride... this morning I woke up to an empty house.... no longer a home, but just a place to try to rest and find comfort. The sounds of laughter are heard only in my memories.

Cherish each day.....
