A year ago yesterday, a friend of mine got married. A year ago today, the Dallas Cowboys played the New England Patriots in a regular season football game that the Patriots won. A year ago today I lived in a tiny little shack in Gainesville Florida. A year ago today My Mom died. A year ago today I cried a little bit.
-Its hard to believe that a full year has gone by now. Time really does fly. In that time I have moved to Miami, Got divorced, Have had to borrow money to make normal monthly bills on more then one occasion, and have travelled back to Gainesville every third weekend to see my kids. I have made one new friend here in Miami so far, and a few acquaintances. I have worked in this City and area, and have lived here for almost a full year now.
-It seems like it is getting easier, but it is lonely, and it is different. I like living in a big city, Not as much as I liked living in Gainesville, but still, its a new thing for me and I think I am adjusting well. Its hard being slightly shy of 1/6th of a dad (35 days of weekends and 21 days in the summer and spring break, means I see my kids about 56 days of the year. which is almost two months, hence 1/6th dad) but I am even getting used to that.
-Overall its been 365 days since last November 4th and lots of living has gone on for me, My mom, not so much, although listening to some of the zen stuff that I do, there is a possibility that spirit goes on. It is just energy, I think, Maybe, who knows. Anyways Mom, I miss you and hope whatever happens after you are dead is a good thing.

Just read this one for the first time. You sir are an inspiration. I'm quite certain I would be in a much darker place than thee if I lived your last year or two. I am glad you remain positive in the face of evil and despair (sp?). Keep fighting the fight so I know this trying your whole life stuff isn't a big waste of time.
