Mastering YOU Monday...lessons I've learned

As some of you may know, my husband and I just celebrated our 25^th wedding anniversary! If you asked me 25 years ago where I would be today…I couldn’t promise you I’d be here.  Why? Because our marriage was definitely NOT the conventional one!

You see, my parents were married for almost 45 years before my mom passed away suddenly on August 2, 2007. My dad remarried exactly 4 months to the date - December 2, 2007 - at the very same altar where my mom’s casket had once sat…IKR! :-) This was a lot for my sisters and I to digest, as all of our lives all we had known was mom and dad…together.
