One Year of Blogging

Happy one year anniversary to my blog!

I just realized that I started my blog one year ago today. What an amazing year it has been! I honestly didn't know what to expect when I started this blog...

Would anyone read it? Would it serve its purpose of helping me and others along our journeys of grief? Would it come back to bite me that I'm so honest with my thoughts and feelings? How many followers would I have? Would it be a good way to document memories and milestones in the life of my family?

I've had such a great experiencing blogging to date. I've connected with so many wonderful people and found some new and amazing friends. I've been able to work through so many things just by typing them here and receiving feedback from you, my sweet readers. I cannot tell you how much comfort I've found in those who can relate to my loss of Grady and how healing this blog has been to me.

So, a HUGE thank you to all of you who continue to read on a regular basis. And also to you lurkers who pop in and out.

Sorry I don't have some great give-away in honor of my one-year-blogging milestone. Wish I had something profound to say tonight. But I don't.

So, thanks again for walking this journey with me over the last year. Hopefully there are many more to come!

Love,
Tonya

  2. Congrats! My anniversary is Mar 17th. I like your honesty- this is about you and your walk, and your raw edges resound with others who have walked the same road. Everyone can't understand.

  3. Wow Tonya! Happy Anniversary Blogging!! I have enjoyed every one of your posts and your wonderful memoir-styly writing. Your honesty is commendable. I also stand in your debt, for showing me how wonderful it is to keep a blog of your adventures, whatever they are in life. I'm still brand new to the blogosphere, but if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here at all. Thanks a million!!

  9. Thank you for sharing with us for the past year. Of all the blogs I read, I relate to yours so much because our boys are so close in "age". I find so much comfort in your words and in knowing that I am not alone in the journey. God Bless you and your beautiful family. :)
