Turning 30
Jordyn Ashley Goodman
Siegel
Like most girls in their 20’s, I had dreamt about the day that I would get married and walk down theaisle. It really never occurred to me that the day would come and he would not be there. Even though a part of me will always feel robbed of that moment I’m comforted in knowing that if and when that day comes, he will be with me in some way. It’s been almost a year since his passing, and I’ve chose to live my life each day in his honor, working hard to be the best daughter, sister, and aunt I can be.
So, I’m turning thirty. I know this year will be full of changes and challenges. But I’m genuinely excited and ready for them! I am not perfect...I have made plenty of mistakes all which have brought
me here today. It is important to note, that mistakes in your 20s don’t define your value...then or now.
I find comfort in knowing that my family and friends are always with me. In loosing my father I lostthe love of my life last year, but I have learned to love my life so I don’t lose out on anything in my
thirties!
