We’ve had a lot going on here recently. We are in the midst of medical diagnoses, frustrating insurance companies and doctor’s offices who are too busy to really do anyone any good. And we have had some bad luck with where we live. House is slowly falling apart around us, teenagers breaking into our car and stealing lots of expensive stuff. Nothing catastrophic. But a series of bad circumstances and challenging genetics have made for a less than stellar state of affairs.
And that state of affairs has been impossible to write about. It’s really not my story to tell, at least not yet. And I want to respect my family’s privacy as we learn how to exist in what will most likely be our new “normal”. But there has also been a lot of fun. I graduated last week from Hopkins. I decided that with everything going on, I REALLY wanted to hear my name called and walk across that stage. I wanted to remind myself even with all of the challenges, good things are still happening.
And good things are happening all around me. Some of my closest friends are getting married.
David and I will soon be celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary and PEY continues to get cuter and smarter by the minute.
His current parlor trick that delights us to no end, is yelling “Rock Out!” from the backseat when the radio gets turned on. The subsequent head bobbing and hand clapping can almost make me drive off the road with hysterics.
I’m trying to enjoy as many moments as possible, through all of the craziness. Because no matter how crazy, this is where we are right now. This is our path. Much of it is out of my control but what I can control is how I appreciate the good things. And how I continue to love those around me, even when the stress meter starts to reach its max.
