I’m happy.
Happier, actually, than I’ve been in a really long time.
There isn’t any one particular thing making me feel this way… I just do. I’m at peace. Life is busy and there are days when I’m on the go for 15 hours, straight, but there is a smile on my face and a lightness in my step from start to finish.
It’s an incredible feeling, especially when I think about what things were like only six short months ago. It’s amazing how much my life has changed, and how much better I feel.
I know I’ve been neglecting this space and I apologize. I fully intend to document Blythe’s story, but for the time being, I’m enjoying living this unexpectedly happy, peaceful life.
Alison and Blythe are continuing to thrive, and they’re developing an incredible bond with their dad. He has come so far, and I’m proud of him for dedicating his time and effort to being the father our girls deserve.
I know that his poor choices are responsible for so much of the hurt we’ve experienced, but I also know that the good choices he’s making now are a huge factor in our ability to live in peace.
Life is good. I’ve been saying that for years, trying to convince myself that it’s true.
I’m so happy to finally believe.

Andrea,
I came across your blog a long time ago and have posted a comment once or twice (I’m NOT a comment poster) but I wanted to tonight.
I’ve followed you ever since you met up with Bossy. Ya, I told you it’s been awhile. There’s something about you and your writing that has captivated me. I get excited when I see that you’ve posted something in my Reader.
It made my heart happy to read your post tonight. I’m so sorry for all the pain and suffering that you and your family has gone through. I know very little of really all that is going on in your life, but I know enough to have felt joy when I read this.
I’m proud of Jeremy? (your husband) for getting the help he needs and I wish you ALL the very best!
It warms my heart to read this post. I’m glad you’re finding peace again…
So happy for you.

I haven’t been around much these last few months, but today you were on my heart so I decided to see what was going on with you. I am saddened that you haven’t updated but so so happy for you and the happiness that you have with all going well. So live well my friend, and update us when you feel the time is right.
