“There's so few nice surprises in life. Seems to me that it'd be kind of a shame to squander one of them, don't ya think?”

Jim was of course talking about...

I won’t spoil it. Just watch the movie!
9/9

For those wondering, yes, everyone that needs to know, knows. This wasn’t easy either, and I probably could have handled it better. It wasn’t sought out, or planned.

I will close with this… It’s a quote from one of my favorite movies, Big Eden.
8/9

Loving each other like there is no tomorrow, because there might not be, and life is too f-ing short to squander a gift from the universe.
Has it been easy? No. Nothing worthwhile ever is. Would I trade it for all the riches in the world? Not a chance!!
7/9

Backing up a bit more. Five months ago, almost to the day, I met a man who has become very important to me. He has a long term partner, and I am still married, but we are making it work; growing together, communicating, building a relationship, making our own rules.

She raised a strong, determined, imperfect man with a boundless capacity for love and patience.
It is a challenge? Yes, and it will continue to be. But I’m up for it.
I feel like dad would be proud, and is smiling down at us from his cloud in heaven.

5/9

Despite the indescribable loss of my father in 1984, neurological challenges she faced, and a son who(through no fault of his own😂) was a spoiled brat, she persevered.

So... it’s my turn.
4/9

I’m sure I could rattle off twenty others, but that can’t be my focus. I am manifesting positivity and gratitude.

The upside, and there are many, is that I get the opportunity to care for the woman that shaped me and made me who I am.
3/9

Both were an adjustment, to say the least, for all; I approached it all with aplomb.

The downside, and there is 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 a downside, was that it is farther away from the reason we moved back to Houston in the first place...

Bittersweet Sunday. Closing the chapter on one part of life, starting anew. Had to take one last #naked photo at the old house.

No, none actually. 😂

Did you have a good time?

Thank you! 🥰

Oh no! Glad you weren’t injured, barbed wire can be a b*#ch!
