Previously published, Dec 8, 2015 This time last year I remember telling my aunt that I believed my marriage was over. I had felt it deep within and had a certain peace about it. Of course I was sad because Christmas was coming up and I believed that we would be starting family traditions. Christmas is very exciting for me and it is something I believe you spend with loved ones to create lasting memories which I do regardless of the situation I am in. My family has been and is a rock in my life and I am forever grateful.
