Long time no blog. I seem to have writer's block. I normally have a head full of...stuff. All kinds of stuff, serious stuff, funny stuff, odd stuff, thoughtful stuff, weird stuff, stupid stuff. But every time I sit down to blog lately...or even to simply write...which I love to do...I seem to be empty. It occurred to me this afternoon that perhaps what I need to do is just...write.
These past few weeks have been nothing if not interesting. The week before Easter, all five of us came down with the flu. Some had the stomach variety, some had the upper respiratory kind, and all of us remained drained and exhausted for almost two weeks. It was terrible. As we were just beginning to see daylight from all that, my step dad took a turn for the worse. After about a week and a half of heart wrenching illness, he passed away on Thursday, March 27th, in the early hours of the morning. What followed was an unbelievable time of mourning, cleaning, kowtowing, frustration filled, stress packed, nerve wracking...stuff. And now it is finished.
I look back on his death, the aftermath, and the funeral...and I am reminded again...how precious my kids and husband are! No matter how rough the road gets, or how tired we are, or how filled with sorrow, or grief or uncertainty...we band together and hold each other up and cheer each other on! We become one unit of strength and love...together...and we face whatever rears its ugly head. I could not do...anything...without them! And I would never, ever want to! They are my rocks! And I love them without reservation, and with all of my soul! I am the most blessed mother and wife on the planet!
Be well.
