Growth
Thanksgiving was perfect.
It was simple but I had the ones I love around me and that was most important.
I spent the day laughing, eating, marveling at how much my sons had grown and remembering all the goods times .
But times haven't always been good...in fact there have been events that I wasn't sure we would survive (emotionally) ......
The death of my husband....we lost everything we knew in an instant. We had no warning.
Watching my sons struggle with the loss of their Dad was in ways as painful as our loss. There was nothing I could do to make things better for them...no magick to take away their pain.....
A few years later they had to watch as they thought they may lose me as well....a cerebral aneurysm threatened their security that time.....
Then when that settled down and I was back to normal (well, I've never really been normal) pneumonia almost took me away from them again.....
But we made it through and are able to move forward and though we're changed by these events we're still a happy family.
We haven't forgotten what we lost.....the memories are alive and well.
Our lives have changed through the years in ways we could not control, could not change and I would never want to relive some of those times....
But we made it.....
Our family has grown.... I would never have believed I could be this happy...again.....My sons have loves in their lives too and the circle enlarges to include them....
"Our Family is a circle of strength and love
With every birth and every union the circle grows
Every joy shared adds more love
Every crisis faced together
Makes the circle stronger"
We all face challenges; that is a part of life it. It's normal to question why this is happening, when will things get better, what happened? Having someone to talk with makes a huge difference.
I'm hear if you'd like to talk, ask questions and see some light coming your way.
