a lot can happen in 13 years…

I lost the love of my life at 29 years old.

My husband, father of my kids, & my absolute favorite person in the entire world was shot for an unknown reason by an unknown person.

In an instant I became a widow, single mom & a depressed shell of the person I used to be

But i couldn’t fall apart.

My kids needed the only parent they had left.

Having to keep it together and raise them was the hardest thing i’ve ever had to do.

It’s still hard every single day.

There is no easy way to tell your 2 year old that his daddy is never coming home.
