Although it is hard to believe it has been a full month since the surgery, it’s really hard to believe it has only been 3 months since this entire ordeal began. Reality hit me yesterday. As I looked over our tulips that are starting to poke their heads out of the ground, I remembered Jenny and I had planted them on the first anniversary of my fathers passing last fall. I thought it appropriate that today (yesterday), on what would have been dad’s 82nd birthday; I took time to notice they have started to come out of their slumber. It then hit me; when we spent that day last fall planting bulbs to celebrate a life well lived, we had no idea what life or the looming winter held in store for us. We were only concerned about strategically placing our bulbs deep enough so they may survive the cold of winter until spring. I am happy to report that the bulbs we planted are now sprouting. They’ve survived their harsh winter, and so did we.

Man I wish I had 1/2 the words my husband has...he's so good like that.
ReplyDeleteI love your post honey and I appreciate you so much. You never get too bummed or angry or sad (at least that you let me see) and you are always there for us. I could never ask for a better husband, father or friend and I thank God for you every day. Love you more than you'll ever know.
Love,
Jen
