People have asked me as I go back to work: how do you do it? It must be so hard. To them I respond. I don't think about what I don't have anymore very much. It is much more joyful to think about what I do have:
A loving husband. Over the past 6 months, Hoyt and I have gotten into maybe 3 disagreements. The rest has been nothing but pure love. So many people get divorced over an experience like this, it has made us stronger.
Two beautiful sons. Miles is obviously a blessing and miracle but Townes through all of this has been so patient and kind. He makes me laugh almost daily. What a blessing it is to have him as my son.
Family Support. Moms, Dad, Sister and Brothers who have been there with us through all of this. They have been our rocks and we are so blessed to have such a loving family.
A Good Job and Great Team at a Great Company: I get to have the pleasure of working and getting paid well at a company that saves kids like Miles everyday. They gave me 5 months off, 3 months paid to get Miles adjusted. Yes, to be independently wealthy would be AWESOME, but I am so appreciative of the work I do have.
My Health: I have had some bouts with illness over the past several years but in general I am in pretty good health. I am so thankful that God has given this body and soul to live in this world with.
A New Understanding: I was not very religious before this journey but this journey was indescribable and so surreal. The connectedness of each moment was nonsensical. It was like when you see the Rockies for the first time and you are in awe at the beauty and you realize that happenstance could not have created that kind of beauty. I am so blessed to have had an experience that leaves me no choice to believe.
