Coming to terms... slowly but surely

So the more and more I accept the things that are continually happening in my life, the easier and easier I find the adjustment.  Not going to lie, it sucks and I am still very hurt and somewhat bitter, but this doesn't mean that I blame my husband, or any one person in particular.  It was a series of  unexpected events, a lot of bad decisions, and no one wanting to take blame at all.  I realize that a lot of you don't know what I am talking about, and I do apologize for being so vague, but I cannot post particulars now and maybe ever.  This is more a post about my acceptance, and being so amazingly proud of my husband, my best friend, the father of my beautiful boys, and the best damn sailor I have ever known.

He really, truly is the best sailor I have ever known.  Sure he makes mistakes, but in general the dude has excelled at every command he has been at previous to the BUFFALO.  He has received many awards, and letters of commendation and has had several people offer him jobs without seeking them out.  He has made a reputation for himself as a rule follower, and a guy who is not afraid to tell it like it is. He is such a hard worker, and has sacrificed so much not only for his family, but for his country and that makes him a Hero.

He is human, mistakes happen, hindsight is 20/20 and there are things that are completely out of our control and happen according to the plan of our Heavenly Father.  I have to accept that this is done, and there is always a lot of blame to go around, but the people who always end up shining through are the ones who take responsibility for their actions.

The boys and I are so very proud of our Andy no matter what.  And we will make it through this as a family, because the blame game is not going to take precedence in our home. ;)
