i still have a day, a moment, when life hits me, hard. when i read a story or remember my own, or add another chapter and my eyes begin to well up and the tears start to pour...and i can't help but be overwhelmed with life. and it's hard not to imagine or try to remember what my life was like before six months ago...because the feelings are so raw and i feel so unprotected now. there are times through this life when every emotion is right on the surface of your skin and it stings and you want to hide from it...and hiding is what i would have done six months ago...but i can't hide from life anymore...and i am thankful for that. because with every raw burn the immensity of full joy immediately follows...when i look into that little face that i have been blessed to be able to see each day....who sees me...and while sitting on my lap noticed the tears pouring down and looked up at his momma with a little grin and grabbed my arm as if to say, it's ok mom, it will always be ok....i am so thankful for my gift, for the rawness of life that i have been blessed with, and the ability to see and feel it...to soak every inch of it in.
