When
my wife first passed, I was spinning out of control. I didn’t know what to do…I
couldn’t get focused and just wanted to explode. Each hour and each day that
went by caused for greater heartache and pain. I’ve never felt for someone the
way I did/do for my wife, Daniela. I didn’t think I would be able to continue
with the elections, but my family and friends pushed and pulled me through it.
Each day was a rollercoaster of emotions and the fact of having to “be strong”
for our four children, I was a walking mess.
Now
with our family moved and the elections over, I want to get focused on raising
the children as she would want. I have decisions to make pertaining to
maintaining our lifestyle and culture against career and finances. I need to be
available for the kids and spend even more time with them supporting them
through their academic careers and social activities.
My
question to myself is simply, “What
now?”
There
are a few ideas I have and possible paths to take for the family. One path is
an idea I share with a great friend (Ty Baldwin), which focuses on youth and youth
development. With nearly 20-years in Youth/Human Services, I feel it’s time to
develop and launch these programs and ideas to assist Milwaukee/Milwaukee
County. Currently, we are working on launching the Milwaukee Economic
Development Group (or MEDG). This group will be made up of talented and
experienced members of our community, who will come together and develop
programs through proper planning to help others in the Milwaukee Community.
The
starting line up is being developed as we read!!!
