Hard to believe that it’s been 9 years since Troy was here celebrating his birthday. I have learned so much about people. People you trust will often turn on you after they have gotten what they want. I see that now. I’m not in that fog anymore, I’ve moved forward. This year on Troy’s birthday I felt more saddened. I guess I remember all those birthdays we celebrated together. Sometimes they feel so long ago and other times they feel like yesterday. I sure never thought my life would be like it is, but here we are.
