There's A Moon Out Tonight

To The Man In The Moon -

I learned to love the good and the bad. Both sides of the coin. A person for who a person is. If we can't love a person with faults and imperfections is that really love at all? 
I learned love from you and Mom. Fierce and strong. Compassionate and easy. Like the way you two laughed together. 
The twinkle in your eyes. Something so strong and real, all my life it's all I ever wanted to see and feel again. See it reflected back at me once again. 
I miss having someone who is there for me. Someone who sees me. Appreciate and cherishes me.

The good the bad and the ugly. 
What can I possibly do if the one man who makes me feel so much more than I thought I could feel doesn't want me?  What if he's so worried about hurting others and losing what he had that he doesn't see how he's hurting and losing what he has now and in the future? I don't want to be the roadkill on his highway to his happiness. I want to be the road paving that way. I want to be in the seat next to him hearing him sing, smile on his face hand on his thigh, partner in love and life. I dont like being the secret. Or the person that he can't even tell anyone about. I want to be the one he's proud to love and have by his side. 
Bed is calling and I am sick of crying tonight. 
I love you dad. I miss you. 
Your girl 😘

Here Comes 40

 To The Man In The Moon - October is here, it’s a full moon tonight and it’s bringing with it the crisp autumn air, my favorite holiday and another birthday. This year I turn 40. I know it’s nothing like I pictured it to be so far. But given my state from my last birthday to this one it’s really hard to complain. I’ve lost and gained a lot in a year. Rivaling only my transition into my 30’s when I got married and had my son. It’s a heavy thing but one I hope I can carry gracefully.  40 brings many new changes. I am trying to be healthier mentally and physically. I am more focused on enjoying every moment and making the best of everyday. Trying to let go of the worry and doubt that has gotten me no closer to the happiness I have been chasing for far too long. Separated and met a man. Could be the man of my dreams... Today I booked a trip to Denver. My first momcation. Other than the lonely nights I spent in the hospital which qualifies only as torture. But I am jumping in, with...

To The Man In The Moon - Thinking about the truth and not romanticizing what has happened is hard. It isn't like what we have isn't wonderful or that it's not true. Because I know there is a lot of love and specialness to what we found and have together. But there is a lot of things that happened, a lot of truth lost in the messiness that got blurred. And while it would be more convenient to ignore and forget all that, I am seeing how those lies have been the cracks in the walls I built to keep myself together.  When I fell for him, it's been all him for me. And I tried each and everyday to love him with everything I am. I questioned myself and him that this is what we wanted and that we felt the same. He says all these things about how it's me and it will always be me. But when I sit and think...it wasn't. Leaving Denver I was unsure he would want to continue it. I had prepared myself to say goodbye because he was still in love with and choosing to be with Ashl...

Beginning to Heal

To My Man in the Moon Dad, The beginning is the hardest. It seems like the end would be the hardest and the beginning the easiest, but I know better. It's finding the commitment and the strength to commit to something and following through with it that's the hard part. So here we go. Trying to find the right words and where to begin. So I'll start with telling you something easy, I miss you. We all miss you. There are so many things I want to say. There is so much time that has passed. I am no longer that little innocent girl. I can barely remember being 9. Luckily the good times come more easily than the hard ones through there are more than a few. Last year was a big one for me, getting married, having a baby, and it really brought a lot of emotion out of me. Reuniting with Debbie and then Mike after Grandma Myrtle died has been a HUGE blessing in my life, and moms. Having them at my wedding was the best blessing I could ask for! It was beautiful and Debbie even ...
