Wow... so much pain.
Your children have truly blessed you. I'm so sorry for the loss of your grandson.
My husband is my biggest inspiration :) He's a wonderful man, but more than that he is a great leader, he's kind, and he's fair. He's also funny as hell. We were matched on a dating site as 99% compatible, and we really are. He is an incredible father, and makes me want to be a better person everyday.
I just bought an ice cream maker at Goodwill for $5 because it was a little smaller then my current ice cream maker, also from Goodwill. I just plug it in and give it a few minutes and I have ice cream. I like putting a ready made protein shake in it. Makes really yummy ice cream.

Not at all a cliche! Sounds to me like great love and inspiration both directions between you and them. That's wonderful.

1. Pay off all of my debt, and that of my closest family and friends.
2. Start a trust for my kids' education.
3. Buy my favorite local charity everything on their wish list.
4. Visit my sister in Italy, and then take a dream vacation around the world, complete with private tutors, so my kids wouldn't lose anything in their education while we're away.
5. Lots of giving to the causes that matter to me.
Let's see. Who and what inspires me. Hmmm-
A lot of people in my life now and in the past who have contributed and contribute so much to who I am and give me phenomenal support and love. My husband. My family. My friends. Courage. Trustworthiness. People who have a commitment to contributing and making a positive difference. Creative people. Good writing and art and music. Good teachers. Sunsets. Great thinkers. Gentleness. Possibility. Opportunity. Open mindedness. Seekers. People who overcome whatever obstacle and learn to thrive. Beauty. Kindness. Thoughtfulness. Nature. Watching and being part of my grandchildren growing. My work. Honoring and living by my values. Reading and learning. Challenges. People who have great ways of looking at and living life. Loyalty. Generosity. People who seek learning and growing and experiencing new things. Travel and experiencing other cultures and places in the world. My ex-husband. Good humor and laughter. Curiosity. Gratitude. Just plain old being alive.
My, the list does go on...
