Thankfulness and Preparation
I had a lot of ways I wanted to start this post. This is at least the 4th iteration, though I hope to make it the last. It’s been a hell of a journey, but we are getting very close to the end of this part, so I wanted to start by saying thank you…

Love
Not exactly sure what made me want to start this one, but I do hope it doesn’t become another of the many posts I’ve started and not been able to finish for whatever reason. This stupid world we live in has a bad habit of making way too many incorrect definitions of what love is.…

Hard Things
A previous boss’s, boss’s, boss’s wife (I think higher up the chain than that) gave Steph this in a gift basket she helped coordinate when shit hit the fan over 6 months ago. Super crazy to think its already been that long. Really can’t wrap my head around that one. I was searching through pics…

Healing
Its been a heck of a season for Steph and I. Theres been more frustration, celebration, heartache, joy, and everything inbetween in these past 6 months than I could ever have fathomed going through. We aren’t anywhere near the end of this season, but I think we’re finally starting to be more positive about things.…

Firm Foundation
For some reason when I woke up yesterday to give Steph meds, this song was stuck in my head. And ironically it popped in there again this morning. Really not sure why, as when I though about it, it seemed to me to be an easy song to write when you don’t have jack shit…

Appreciation
Damn. I know people mean well and such, but damn. Its fucking hard to accept help. I should be able to take care of myself and my wife, do the cooking, cleaning, watch after the pups, make it in for at least a few hours of work. In reality that isn’t the case. I’ve learned…

Family
There are many definitions of what makes a family. From the mainstream nuclear to extended, what I can remember off the top of my head from school many moons ago. Personally, I feel the family definition has been skewed to fit people’s desires so they don’t get “butt hurt” because they don’t fit into some…

Not for the Weak or Faint of Heart
Ironically this is the same tagline of a military school. In this case though, I wanted to preface things a little as the shit I was processing last night working on my shower was hitting me way fucking heavier than I ever thought it would. I usually try to look on the brighter side of…

You Take What the Enemy Meant for Evil (and Turn it for Good)
Alright. This is one bitch of an irony for our situation. We’re sitting in the hospital room watching an older church service since the stream we’ve tried to watch be busted for whatever reason. Things happen so we adjusted. It was an amazing service to watch. I admittedly didn’t get as much out of the…

A Breath of Fresh Air (in more ways than 1)
I was hoping to write this last night, but my body said it needed rest more than to write. I’m learning that I have to pay more attention to what my body is telling me, much like Steph has always been very in tune to what her body tells her. Lately, that has been to…
