Hi Everyone,
I am so full of feelings today. (YIKES what a way to start a blog post. Buckle up!) As Sam gets closer and closer to getting the heck out of this hospital, I have spent a lot of time thinking about this whole experience. How it has impacted Sam, me, those who love us, what I have learned from it, and what I will take away from it. In some ways, I hesitate to even write this because I know this process has no real end. Getting discharged from the hospital will be a huge step, but as we have painfully learned many times in the past, there is no saying what’s around the next corner, and the unforeseen physical and mental battles can be the most debilitating. Plus, we are of course excited to be discharged, but our eyes are on the prize of getting our life back in Alaska and that still seems so far away. But I digress. I still think it would be a mistake not to reflect on the things I've learned over the past seven months of treatment, and most recent 63-day stretch in the hospital… phew! Here are a few lessons I am going to try to keep with me:

Thank you, wonderful Step-Daughter, for sharing your heart with all of us. I know it can be a difficult but freeing thing to do. When in a scary, unknowing, unwanted situation, a typical response could be to pull back and hide in a "safe place". But you have chosen to expose yourself and we readers are the better for it. We LOVE YOU BOTH!!! Comments are closed.
