Our lives will never be the same. And that is a very hard pill to swallow. So where do we go from here?
We take it one day at a time, that is what we do.
We take the bad days, we cry, and we keep moving.
We take the good days, we feel blessed, and we keep moving.
We hold on to the memories and smile.
We make new memories and smile.
We get into our new routine and keep moving.
And we always look for the silver linings…
I don’t think dad has got into a routine yet. I still think all of this is so new to him and I know that it is going to take time. It is going to take time for him to settle and it is going to take time for all of us to accept this reality. But the one thing that will never change is the love we have for each other. I have learned that the love we have as a family is something that can not be broken. I was talking to my mom and brother the other night and it was really neat to think about the fact that the four of us; me, my brother, mom, and dad have been a family unit for 43 years. We have been through so much together and have had a great life together. We have enjoyed many moments, shared many important things, and have also got through some pretty tough times. But the one thing that has never changed is that we have always been there…together…for each other…no matter what. And this will continue I know, in a different way, but we will always be a family. (Silver lining).
