It really was nice having my brother and his family here. We hadn’t seen each other for years, he was working all over and had to move. My little brother and sister also have some distance from me. I didn’t realize how much I missed being around family. It was nice because it helped to get back into routine but not like just thrown back in. Also having all the kids around each other I think was a good distraction for my two kids.
I kept up the walking, it was still pretty hard to do. On the walks it gave me time to be able to think. I still had such a euphoric feel about everything. I won’t lie, I still wasn’t grasping significance of what all happened to me. All I really felt was my life had changed, and I would have to take the steps to change it, how I wanted it.
