Finally......

Sweet!!    For the first time in a year, I am able to access Mark's site to post blogs again.  I knew when I bought my new laptop last year that it had something to do with Windows 8.  Spent hours and hours with HP, Microsoft, and Web.com trying to get it fixed.  Always came up with unable to access.  Then last week I downloaded Windows 8.1....and magically now it works.

So much has happened in the past year but one thing remains very constant.....Mark is missed so much.  I am a lucky mom...I get signs from him all of the time.

I am going to take the next couple of days to organize my thoughts.  Since there is another snowstorm coming and I have to go right back to work tonight and tomorrow night as well, I will have my six days off following to post here.   I knew if I kept paying the monthly fee for this website, that eventually it would become available again to me.

I noticed on Facebook that it is World Cancer Day.  I almost joined in and changed my profile picture to Mark for the day.....but decided against it.  Mark told me he didn't want to be known as "the guy that died from cancer" and I am going to continue to honor that wish.

Can't wait to start posting here again because I feel that when I hit the send button....it is not only going into the internet sphere....but also to Mark.

So glad to finally be back.
