  It has been several years now since my last blog posting and let me tell you so much has happened since then.
Kenny left me May, 31,2012 for another woman, which came as a total shock, not only to me but to Kevin as well. The worse part was that we didn't know he was leaving me, let alone for another woman! His excuse was that he was 57 y/o and was tired of taking care of Gramp and I and wanted to have fun with the rest of his life. Dear reader let me tell you I did not handle the betrayal very well, and I went into such a depression that I was literally looking online for ways to commit a painless suicide. Well God had other plans for me. 
 As I was searching this information I just stopped and asked God for help, because I didn't think I could make it on my own, if anything happened to Gramp. I would be left homeless and I just didn't want to be a burden to anyone else.
 Well as you all know things have not only worked out, but my life has changed so much for the better.
I am now up and walking, becoming healthier through life style changes(I hate the word dieting) and exercising/walking. I have also completed the Fresh Start program through Daytona State College, after being told by a counselor at VocRehab to stay on disability since I had no skills or idea of what I wanted to do. This intern led me to start college for the first time ever! I have since finished my first semester and have registered for fall classes. 
I have also started volunteering at the college and have helped raise and walk for the Relay for Life event this past spring. I also helped with the Earth Day celebration at the college. 
 I am also meeting new friends and going to different parties, lunches, dinners and just plain having fun! On New Years Day I did something I never thought I would do in my life I went zip lining! Not only did I cross something off my bucket list(which I finally made), but I conquered my fear of heights.
 So instead of being bitter at Kenny I thank him for making a stronger more confident woman.
