A Lifetime Lived in One Short Year

I must apologize to all of my dear friends. Over a year has slipped away, and I have not appeared. Sometimes, living life is so personal that it cannot be shared, or so painful that to speak it will cause one's heart to burst. Such was the place that I found myself in.

Experiences that fill your heart so full, yet selfishly, the need to hold onto them is so very great....and through it all, God has been faithful, even when I haven't always been so faithful to Him. And in that year, I have been brought up from the abyss of despair, have experienced the giddiness of His joy, and known the comfort of His love. Sometimes, my throat closes up with the emotions spilling over....and it is all good, and I am blessed among women, because of the love of my Lord.

Some of the things that I can share are: I completed my Master's (applause!) We moved to the Southern part of Wisconsin, where we are both employed by GE Healthcare Systems now (wonderful company, awesome job) --Having money is Soooooooooooooooooooo NICE

. Ashley has met a wonderful young man; they've been together for a year now --and, she's living on her own, still in the Appleton area. (See pics.) Michael has finally been properly diagnose, unfortunately, with Paranoid Schizophrenia. But, it explains a lot, and now we have a solid direction to head in, and goals to work towards. Elizabeth is continuing to mature into a beautiful young woman, and has dealt with what "life" has thrown our way with grace and dignity. And, for the first time in a great while, I have hope.

Thank you all for your patience with me. I hope to hear from all of you soon, as each and every one of you is special and important to me. With all my heart,

Mom April

	Cynthiawrote: Hey April! I got the link to your space through Larry. I totally understand about sometimes not being able to share what is going on in your life with the "public" because it is so personal and near and dear to our hearts. I used to post almost everyday, and my life the last year has been full of changes, good ones, difficult ones and sometimes its just really hard to put down exactly what you are expressing to get the exact emotion that you are feeling at that moment. Anyway, I'll be back around and I hope you continue to write! I like your style of writing! Take care~ Cynthia June 30

	Larrywrote: *Hi April,* I just now "thought" to check your space, don't know why I didn't think sooner. I have checked it several times in the past to see if you might have posted something. I think you so much for the message on "My Spaces Live" and am thankful that you even thought of me. I love your post, it sounds more like the April I first knew and happy that things have worked out well for you and your family. I never forgot you and never will, you will always be my Sister in Christ. And someday, yes someday, some where we will get to meet in person, in Heaven if not before, but we will meet, our families will meet. *May God bless you!* *Larry* June 29
