This Part of the Journey (and Journal) is Done

Today I wrote the final pages of a journal I started June 12th.

This represents the toughest part of my entire life to date. I can’t imagine things will ever be this challenging again, but I’m not tempting the universe to prove me wrong. Really.

Here are some of the final words I wrote:

I’m glad many things are getting settled. Im glad Jim is not struggling and suffering anymore. I’m glad I 100% supported him and have no regrets at all.

I was with him every step of the way.

And now it’s a new life. So far, so good.

Jim—I love you forever and ever

And you will always be with me.

Then I put on “Helen Sadler’s Station” on my Apple Music and the first song that came up was Rodney Crowell’s “Making Memories of Us.”

I cried and cried…a pure combination of sadness at the loss and the happiness of the memories.

Tomorrow begins a new journey to record. 🌻

(Keith Urban’s live version of the song is perfect!)
