*long post* *transparency alert* Can we be the welcoming party to reality?Can we allow our mistakes, and vulnerability, to show off how life can take, and break, and MAKE a human....into something soft and real? This morning I talked to my 5, about my 1. We had a long *painful *beautiful *messy discussion, on how we miss...and we ache...and we seek out healing...no matter what. We talked about the eldest of our crew. We talked about his wife, their life, and how we pray, one day, to know them....now. We talked about loving them. That's it. No maligning. No depression. Just hope...that one day a part, will become a whole. My Zaiah Rose said...."Mom, it's like Anna and Elsa(in Frozen)they're shutting us out.. .but we don't know the end of the movie." *and I wept* And it's OKAY....bc love, over it ALL, makes and takes the pain, and turns it into purpose. I never knew I could make it thru something like this. My 6 turned into my 5...for now. My greatest fear...became reality. But....here I am. Hoping....and being strong. There's a way. I am making it. You can make it too. We can ALL find our way. We can embrace the hardship....to sustain the promise of something better. We can endure the memory...to be ready for the moment of healing. We can believe.....for better. For our hearts, for our families...for our future. So, I will embrace my flaws, I will walk forward with my scars...so I can give someone else...hope. I will stay and fight for my family...as long as the Lord gives me breath...living and loving...on the borders of the impossible.....#laborday #mylabor #onedayatatime #family #Hewillmakeaway https://www.instagram.com/p/BnRdd0oAmmz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=179snns00o3wl
