Change is happening, as always

Being in Jason's life since 1991 meant being used to change. Getting used to change was a transition for me when we moved from St. John's to Kingston in 1993. That was a shock to my civvie system. That first year was difficult for me (or what I thought was difficult at the time). It involved a whole new way of life, one that I learned by living. I met some fantastic people that first year and I met some not so fantastic people (I called them something else at the time).

I moved from Kingston to Guelph then to Ottawa then back to Kingston, after Jason changed (remustered) from Air Force to Army. Then we moved from Kingston to Halifax to Yellowknife. In this time I had 9 jobs, one gorgeous baby and 3 of those years I was a stay at home Mom. 7 moves in 15 years. Then we all know what happened in Yellowknife. And I thought I knew what change was! I had no idea. The things you learn when you are 39.

So from 2008 to now we have as a family moved to Ottawa, I am in my second job, Jason has done 2 rehab stints and one surgery, Jacob has gone from Grade 5 to Grade 8, soccer, now football and has grown a zillion inches! ha

Now Jason's release is being whispered...it is coming. An people are warning me about the changes that are about to occur. They are giving me good info but honey, I have experienced nothing but change, good and bad. Yes, it can still give me anxiety, instill fear and seem overwhelming but by god, we are a resilient lot, and we will push through. Or I will drag them kicking and screaming. Either way, we are moving forward!!! Onward!
