We are home and I am exhausted. I will write about it--put it into words with the hope that it will help clear my head.
Thank you for your words of support. I am so touched by how people have reached out to me and feel so blessed to have the sort of encouragement and kindness in my life.
Right now, I feel the hardest part is over and now I just have to figure out where to go from here.
One thing is for certain: this is not the end of mi vida Salvadoreña. This I promise to myself, Mi Amor, La Hija, and all of mi familia en El Salvador.
An American woman's new life in El Salvador.

I have been thinking about you a lot in these past few days. I was hoping to hear some more info - that maybe it was all a miscommunication. I not really sure what to say...I imagine you are going through so much right now. I thought maybe I'd share something that I've learned going through some hard times. I like to call it the "just around the corner" lesson. Even when you are going through the darkest, most difficult times, you never know what is "just around the corner." You will get through this. Good things will come your way again. In the meantime, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that God will help you find the strength and peace you need in this difficult time.
I've been thinking about you all week. Hang in there love.
Thank you, Ladies. I am ok. I am very aware of this grieving process and find it all very strange. I observe my sadness most of the time but still find myself relating most everything to Mi Amor... we were talking about men and their grooming practices today and his presence in my life is still so palpable that it was natural for me to go into a story about him, happily... only after to realize that I would have no more of those stories to make.
It will get easier and I will find ways to focus on the happiness we shared instead of our inability to continue on together. I hope this blog will help with that.
