After a long Friday we made it back from Cozumel in one piece. Houston was having some major storms that had the whole country delayed for flights, so we waited around the airport wishing they would have canceled the flight while we were still in Cozumel, so we could enjoy the rest of the day. It was beautiful, hot, and nice to have time to relax if we wanted. I would go back to sit on that beach. :) I brought back a sunburn as my souvenir, it's pretty and very one sided, on the front of me.
Now we are home. Home doesn't feel the same, making it hard to be here. Life doesn't look the same, making it hard to move forward. We find ourselves looking into a reality now that is more difficult than we could have imagined. How do we move forward? That is question we find ourselves trying to answer, but, we feel there are none for now. It's just going to be one day at a time, putting one foot in front of the other. I'm sure with time things will not seem so tough, today though we struggle to get through. Everyone handles things different, and it seems with each day each one of us goes through a different emotion.
I suppose life is never quite what we imagined it to be. These are the things that shape us into who we are. Today is a day to be strong, it's something I can't do on my own. Only through God holding me up do I get through each day, without that I would be lost.
5 weeks ago a precious little boy was born. Such a short time ago, yet it seems like an eternity. The ache is no less, the hurt is not gone, but we have some sweet little memories that help to get us through.
