I wanted to lose 80 pounds by the end of 2014 and it didn't look like I was going to make it. I hit 75.8 by Christmas. I was happy and a touch disappointed...but I just sent a new goal for 80 pounds by mid January. Life will give you perspective in the most unique of ways. I had a beautiful Christmas with my family and felt the blessings and joy of family. I was happier than I have been in a while, and then my world changed forever...
On Sunday December 28, 2014 at 1:11 pm my sister called me and told me that my 20 year old beautiful and beloved nephew lost his battle with depression and mental illness. My life will never be the same. My Tre' was the love of my life and I loved him as if he were my own child. Devastation does not even come close to describing the hole that is now in the center of my heart. We lost my 20 year old nephew DJ February 1, 2014 and here we are now almost 11 months later burying another beautiful 20 year old boy.
I am suffering in a way that has no words, and the 4.8 pounds that I lost between December 25th and today comes from the inability to eat due to a shattered heart. I am sure that my appetite will eventually return, and I am also sure my heart will never be the same. Losing two beautiful nephews in 2014 will leave me forever altered
