The past several months I have had alot of time to really reflect on some heavy things. One item that I am constantly amazed at has to do with grief. When I hear the word death especially at a premature age my heart absolutely breaks. We have had several instances with family and friends recently where we have seen how people handle grief and stress in there lives. I have been absolutely amazed at the grace in which they have conducted themselves and been a comfort to those around them. Through them sharing stories it has made me realize more than ever to not be judgmental of people. We never know what is happening in there lives and how much there heart may be breaking.
I have also thought so much about how blessed I am. Thanksgiving is my favorite time of year. Every year I feel a little more irritated because I feel that it is getting lost in Christmas more and more. We need time to really reflect on our blessing...and not launch into the insane consumerism which retailers love this time of year.
Henry is getting so big. He will be TWO in just two weeks. I can't believe that we almost have a 2 year old. Troy and I cannot even express in words how much we love being with that boy. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to be able to spend every day with him and see the world through his eyes. I think lately what has struck me is how much I see now through Henry. He is discovering new things every day that I take for granite. We have full conversations now...alot I don't understand. Henry's new obsessions are KISSING belly buttons, Rob's dog Petty (they are new best friends), and carrying around pictures of various family members. Today he spent all day kissing his Grandpa's and asking for them. It was funny!
Troy has been so incredibly busy. He continues to amaze me with all he does. He juggles so much and always has a smile on his face and is optimistic. Being married to Troy and the mother to Henry is such a HUGE blessing!
