Motherhood is messy,
And challenging,
And crazy,
And sleepless,
And giving,
And unbelievably beautiful...
Without question I know that I was put on this earth to be a mother. I never imagined that I would be on this sacred path without Tom physically by my side. But heaven knew I would need them, they are my strength and my whole world. I am so grateful to be their mom. ❤️ #thackeraystrong #familiesareforever #widow #widowers #love #motherhood #cancer #leukemia
What a great night!!! -These beautiful people get up every single day and work at being both Mom and Dad to the amazing kids standing behind them. We’ve all experienced pain sorrow in a way that is indescribable. A pain so deep that it changes you to your very core. Yet they have chosen to get up everyday and cling to the beauty in life and work towards being genuinely happy again. -My kids and I are walking a path that we never anticipated and to say it’s hard is such and understatement. The support group that we have had over the past few years is simply amazing. We love and appreciate you so much. -I am so blessed to have met so many widow/widower warriors that have shown me and my family love and support. Their courage is so inspiring! I’m so happy to have them in my life. ❤️ #thackeraystrong #widow #widowers #grief #leukemia
Had a lovely evening with this group last night. .
.
All of us are only parents- living a life without our spouses. .
.
As I was driving home I reflected on how even though we are navigating the unimaginable, there was plenty of genuine laughter and happiness. If you looked around- all of the kids are thriving and being”normal” kids.
.
.
I used to have this idea that kids were the only ones that had resiliency...but I see some of that same resiliency in us adults too. We are choosing to move forward and create a life worth living. I know that is what our late spouses would want. .

Thanks for having us over. @anniethackeray .

Allie was sent to us 5 weeks early and only weighed 4lbs but she came into this world a fighter and so strong. That strong, sweet spirit still burns so bright in her! She was such a daddy’s girl, always sitting on his lap or holding his hand...always connected to him.❤️You are our little miracle baby!! We love you so much Allie!! Happy 9th birthday!! #thackeraystrong #familiesareforever #widow #widowers #grief
#BehindtheScenes....God is faithful and so good! There was a time when we couldn't smile and still talk about our grief process. But God is writing a New Chapter in our lives

I am working on my "green thumb" lol! Thanks to my friend @wallace.marilyn for the tips... I just might make these live!! My Ronnie was a landscaper and would tell me what to do....this is just one more thing on my list to learn on my own! My new Normal....even the simplest of things are sometimes a task!
Things change savor every moment of the good forget the bad and MOVE forward.
Life is short! Be Happy in all you do!
