A few years back I when my grandmother passed away, I remember my then active husband was so wrapped up in his disease that he was not there for any support.  For years I resented him for it and made it a point to make sure he knew just how much he wasnt there for me then yada yada.  After many years of recovery and working on me I learned to let go of that resentment and forgave my husband for what he could not do under the guise of this disease.

Fast-forward to 7 AM this morning.  My mother called to tell me that my aunt (who has been a favorite) passed away yesterday.  It was very unexpected and a big shock.  My now recovering husband didnt even bat an eye this morning when he took over the morning routine with the kids, checked on me often to see how I was or if I needed anything, and just did what I guess normal people do.

While I am very saddened by the lose in my life, I can help but be thankful and grateful for all that I have gained by way of this program.  I know that as I move forward over the next few days & months of greiving that my husband will be there by my side.
