Conflicting Emotions

Today is a hard one for me.  No rhyme, no reason just a bad day.  One of those days where I just want to cry.  One of those days where I need to talk to Jared, to hear his advice but of course I can't.  One of those days I need him to tell me it's ok.  

I have so many emotions.  
Sadness because it is another Christmas without Jared.  
Gratitude for all the Christmases we shared.  Joy because I am in a good place right now.  Sorrow because I can't tell Jared about my newfound happiness.  
Worry because this is all new and unknown and I cannot control it.  
Fear that I am moving too fast, too soon.  Angst over trying to make a new relationship work 1000 miles apart.  Concern that the man I'm dating is afraid to tell his daughter about us, despite his valid reasons.  
But surprisingly, I don't feel quilt.

I wish I could share this with Jared because I shared everything with him.  I wish he were here to meet Jon, I think he would approve.  Of course, if Jared were here, I wouldn't have met Jon.

What a conundrum…wanting to tell my late husband about my new love.  The life of a widow...conflicting, crazy emotions.
