2 Lives Interrupted, 1 Life Ended

 My true love Sara died Sept. 25, 2008, after a long struggle with cancer.  For almost three years both Sara and I had to deal with effects of her cancers along with other health problems associated with diabetes.  We could not enjoy our lives as a normal and happy couple.  That's why our lives were interrupted.  

I have mixed emotions about my life now.  Sara's struggle with her health problems has ended and she is at eternal rest now.  The interruption in my life has ended, but the struggle still goes on for me.  It's like starting my life over, trying to figure out what I want to do.  My life now is different.  

Well I am doing something to to get my life in gear.  I am now getting engaged in my new life alone.  Actually I am starting to like not having to take care of someone.  I'm on my own and I don't have to be concerned about somebody else.  I can set my own schedule.  I'm starting to get involved with my new church and several different groups.  YES!

The down side is I AM alone now.  I  have had a strong loving relationship with a woman for 21+ years.  I am lonely and sad at times.  I do miss Sara a lot.
