I’ve been putting this off for a while. Today being Thanksgiving, I am taking a stab at it.

One of my Mother’s friends I got to know, at 103 years of age, let me know she was, “Still learning.” At which I gasped, “Really, it never ends? I need a break.”

Well, I have had this break for the last several years, and I can now truthfully say, I wouldn’t change a thing. I continue to believe with all my heart we are here on this earth, at this time, for a purpose, to become better human beings, growing through our circumstances, facing our hurts, grieving, learning to forgive, finding peace and love, to live again.

Thank you for sharing my journey. You will never know how much your interest has encouraged me to keep going, dredging up deep and hurtful memories, draining festering puss, as healing replaces the dark part of my soul. My wish for all of you is to find your deep healing, leading to peace as you also heal from your life’s pain.

[My plan is to organize and edit all of these posts into book format. As I re-read everything I have shared, I am sure this epilogue will be more in-depth and better thought out.]
