Lucky

Can I brag for a moment about how lucky I am?
OK, thanks.

This week I got some unexpected news, news I didn't want, eye-opening news.
News, I probably needed to hear.

And it made me upset. It made me feel like a failure, like I did something wrong, that I was starting out on a negative.

But then, my family boosted me up. Reminded me that I am not a failure, I couldn't have done much different, that it was what it was and it could actually be a positive thing, the kick-start I needed.

Even though Chris was out of town all weekend, he called, texted and reminded me how beautiful he thinks I am. When he got home he let me talk and share my fears and reminded me that he is there, right next to me and he would join me in whatever needed to be done.

My Mom and Dad let me cry, eased my fears, and reminded me that things will workout ~ they always do. This is just a different path than I expected to be on, but still, it was a good one, for all of us.

I couldn't imagine going through life without these three people in mine. I can't imagine growing up with parents that I had to hide things from or having a husband that I couldn't share everything with.

I am truly lucky that I was blessed with these three {and countless others}. This path may not have been the one I would have chosen, but I believe it was the right one chosen for me.



Thank you Chris, Dad, and Mom for reminding me that I can keep going, that it is all worth it, and we can get through anything together. {and that it's ok to cry when you need to}.

I love you!
