thankful

i'm thankful for my family.

i'm thankful for our health.

i'm thankful that we are all together after 18 months apart.

and today i'm even thankful when i hear the kids arguing or doing something they shouldn't be.

why you ask?

have you heard about LAYLA?

this story is heart-wrenching.

grab some tissues.

she is two years old.

suffering from a neuroblastoma.

with only days to live...{so, the doctors say}

but,

GOD is a GOD of miracles!!!

please pray for this precious little girl and her family!!!

HOW?

HOW DO YOU LET GO?

HOW DO YOU TELL THOSE YOU LOVE & CARE ABOUT GOODBYE?

HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOUR LOVE & APPRECIATION FOR ALL THAT THEY HAVE DONE FOR YOU IN THE HARDEST SEASON OF YOUR LIFE?

HOW?

HOW?

this is what i have been thinking about the last few days - to be honest, i have been trying to avoid thinking about saying goodbye.

really....how do you say goodbye?

i'm so ready for this 'season' in my life to be over and by this 'season' i mean being without my husband, the love of my life. this has been the hardest season to date. i never knew how i would get through this but my family and friends have been unbelievable!!

seriously -- i have the best family & friends!!!

this next season of our life has been a long time coming and i am so excited.

but, it is also bittersweet.

there is so much more i want to say but i don't know exactly how to put it into words...

HOW?

{more to come later}
