My first post

So this is my opening post. I am writing it while watching tv, so don't expect too much from me right out of the gate. Ok, so I turned off the tv but put on some music. My name is John.

Today, as you all know by the calendar on your computer and the timestamp on this blog, is Monday, March 8th, or at least when I started writing this post it was. What you may not know is that my wife Michelle passed away 62 days ago after battling cancer for 929 courageous days. He death left me a widower at the age of 38, and it also left me a single parent to our only son, Jack, who is 7 years old. My ramblings today will be focused around that life changing event and how it has affected our lives.
So this evening I was reading postings on her facebook page that people had left days before her death as well as shortly after her death. Some of the posts were by people I knew, some were not. All of them were a reminder to me who Michelle was. I miss her and so I cried. Some for her, some for our son, some for me and I felt better. Of course not a day goes by that I don't think about her and how things are so much different without her around and how much of an impact her absence is having on Jack. It scares me to think about being a single father. Although I do have to say that it would scare me so much more if I had a daughter, so thank God for that. So now it is officially Tuesday March 9th, at least in my timezone and its time for me to wrap up this post for the night. So until next time, have a good night.
