It feels like a part of me has been abruptly chopped off.  Each and every one of you taught me so much about both myself, and Life. I&#8217;m grateful our paths crossed. <\/p>\n<p>After a few days spent in shock and grieving, I am beginning to feel like my old self again.  <\/p>\n<p>Losing one&#8217;s job means losing health coverage so &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been spending quite a bit of time trying to get my son&#8217;s Medicaid and Medicare coverage secured. That&#8217;s been my biggest worry.  He&#8217;s been doing so well lately and it would be devastating to have him go without his seizure medications and risk sliding back to the tragic life he had a couple of years ago.  I&#8217;m so grateful for the knowledge I&#8217;ve gained in my career that I can help him through this.   <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also taking care of all of my health needs this month as well.<\/p>\n<p>During my tenure, I had this prayer up on my cubicle wall.  It was something I read to myself every single day, and incorporated in my email signature.  Everything happens for a reason; I&#8217;ve always known that.  I also know something wonderful is in store for me once my ankle surgery heals and I&#8217;m very excited for the future.  Thank you again for sharing this part of my path. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shawnna.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/myworktodaysm.gif?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shawnna.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/myworktodaysm.gif?resize=500%2C383&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"myworktodaysm\" width=\"500\" height=\"383\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shawnna.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/myworktodaysm.gif?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shawnna.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/myworktodaysm.gif?resize=300%2C229&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, I miss all of you very much!
