My birth control failing and getting pregnant with my child at 16.
Sure, was it inconvenient at that age? Uh, yeah!
But giving birth to and raising this sweet soul has been the highlight of my entire life. He just graduated Pre-K-4 and I still can’t stop crying like a baby ❤️
The best thing that ever happened to me was learning how to heal after losing someone I loved. For a long time, I thought moving forward meant letting go. And that felt wrong, like I was leaving them behind. I carried a lot of guilt because of that. But slowly, I started to understand that healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means learning how to hold their memory with love instead of pain. That shift helped me feel like myself again. Not exactly the same, but stronger. I found my way back to the parts of life that made me feel alive, and I brought them with me in a new way.
It’s honestly anytime I see one of my kids just genuinely happy about whatever they are doing or achieving. Each one is the best thing until the next moment comes along and that is the best thing until
Honestly. My parents, Sisters, & Husband are the best to me. I have so many things in my life I’m proud of but they would mean nothing to me without my family to celebrate them with.
Handled a terrible divorce with grace, moved on to get my masters degree, purchased my own house, traveling to all the places. I’m living my best life and proud of myself.
Getting born into this family. For all our flaws, we truly do love each other and want the best for each other. Hanging out is fun, we encourage and cheer each other on, take care of each other, we enjoy living together
It was never even remotely on my radar to ever become a business owner, but sometimes life presents you with opportunities you never expected. Was working at a business when the long time owner, and my mentor, sat me down and suggested I consider being my own boss. Took a while for it to sink in that it could actually happen. Wasn’t easy, but I’ve never looked back.
I had a medical diagnosis in July last year that suddenly turned my life upside down, left me reeling, but also put damned near every part of my fifty something years into much clearer focus.
And it’s only the Best thing because it’s a proof that a nearly Worst thing I’d been complaining about and suspecting for 35 years wasn’t just me making shit up.
Look it sucks yes but winning in the end is stilll winning.

Getting to a point where I feel mentally healthy and stable within my life

My partner. I am no contact with my family and an only child. He has given me the unconditional love and support i have never had
My husband ❤️
Getting accepted to my dream college so that I moved away from a shitty town, met lifelong friends and my husband (of 22 years and counting).
First dog, Chance. Saved me from taking my own life. Shaped who I am as a human being; leading to meeting my husband, getting our second dog, etc.
Love and miss you Chance. ❤️🐾

Working for a company that I love. Nine years there and several positions and I still constantly think how grateful I am to love my job.
So far. My dog coming into my life when I needed him the most.
Meeting my fiance
I fell into my job by total accident and it changed my entire trajectory for the better.

My husband. The life we’ve built and the things we’ve accommodated together… It’s more than I could have dreamed.
Being an aunt. Hands down.
Meeting my husband. He died in April. I wish he took me with.
