I'm alive, but I don't need a witness to know that I survived.

Let me just begin by saying that 2008 was the most trying year of my life, so far. I lost my best friend/father to cancer on October 29, began to really question my faith, and ended a year-and-a-half long relationship. But, I'm not complaining. My dad was in so much pain for so long, that it is great that he didn't live the full 6 months that we had anticipated. He lived an amazing life, and really impacted those who knew him, as well as those who he just passed by on the street, i'm sure. He really was the greatest person I've yet to know. His passing has brought my mom and I so much closer together than we were before! It truly is a blessing in disguise. I havn't really even begun to cope with his death until the past few weeks. Its definitely an uphill battle, and there is a long road ahead, but a resolution will come in time.
So, in light of a recent need to speak, I have deleted all of my previous blogs, and am restarting with a new perspective. Same girl, differents thoughts.
