Hope

Hope and faith are your only companions. Fear and doubt force themselves into the crevices of your heart. Tears are shed. Then, hope and faith return again and you want these companions to stay put, to shield you from the fear and doubt that push them away. In the midst of uncertainty, when we have to let go and simply wait, minutes feel impossible. But we can do impossible. We can let go. We must let go and simply grasp onto hope with everything we have.

p.s. if you follow me on twitter, you may know that lila rose (my doggy daughter) is in the hospital and these next few days are critical. she’s a strong little warrior and i wish i were as strong as she is :). i don’t know how much or what i’ll be blogging during this time but i know writing and sharing these raw thoughts in real time helps me stay present and i hope they may help someone else as well.

What perfect timing for me that you would write this, as we gear up for our son’s IEP meeting tomorrow. Thank you! :-)

I’m so sorry to hear about your pup! Mine was in the dog hospital in February so I know how stressful and scary it can be. She will pull through and be fine and then you’ll just have that crazy-expensive vet hospital bill to worry about! Best of luck and thinking of you and her!
