2019. The worst year of my life. I lost my best friend and love of my life. Losing him also meant losing the future we had together and the beautiful partnership we had in raising our family together. . . . 2019. I also welcomed the most beautiful little girl into the world and watched my sweet big girl become a big sister. I walked alongside her as she navigated her own grief of losing her Daddy and best friend. . . . I’m not ready to say goodbye to this year though. It means we start a new year where He doesn’t exist anymore. It means I’ll have to keep scrolling more and more to find pictures of him on my phone because his existence is now frozen in time and our lives keep going. But life is exactly that. It keeps on going. Yesterday, I turned 36. Steven and I were exactly six months apart in age. He’ll never get to turn 36 and that is a hard pill to swallow. But life keeps going. And so, for 2020, we will keep going. . . . In 2020, I’ll keep trying to survive. To keep making a beautiful life for our new family. I am a better person because of Steven and in 2020, I will be nothing but the most authentic and real version of myself. Because that’s who Steven was. Regardless of who I speak to about Steven, they all describe him in the exact same way. He was kind and caring and selfless and genuine and funny (he thought so anyways) and these generic words don’t seem like they are good enough to describe how incredible he really was. If I had to relive the last six months over again, I would do it a million times if it meant that I could keep the last twelve years of memories we made together. He brought some amazing friends into my life, the most caring and loving family and most importantly, our two beautiful girls. So with a broken heart but a hopeful spirit, see you tomorrow 2020. ❤️ . . . PS. This picture was taken in the Serengeti - one of Steven’s most favourite memories of all time. ❤️🌍 . . . #grieftogratitude #griefislove #loveandloss #griefjourney #healingjourney #widowlife #widow #finelinetravels #motherhoodunplugged #honestmotherhood
