Hard to believe it’s been 22 years ….
Today, March 12th, commemorates the 22nd anniversary of the avalanche that killed my husband, Alfonso, and changed my life forever. I wasn’t sure of anything then; my life had been turned upside down. My life as I had known it for 18 years was gone in an instant.
Today, 22 years later, the ONLY thing I am sure of is change. Change is what life seems to be all about. I now try to embrace it as I have realized over the years that with great change comes many blessings IF you can open your heat to see them.
March 12, 1991, was one of the saddest days of my life. March 12, 2013, is one of the happiest. I am in Punta Mita, Mexico with my wonderful new husband, Ross, surrounded by love, laughter and friends. Twenty-two years ago I could have never imagined that my life would have taken such turns……
So, today I raise my glass to Alfonso and profoundly thank him for all that he gave me. I thank him for my six wonderful children and the fact that he entrusted their care to me. My life would not have been the same without them.
Gracias, Alfonso. Salud.
