Bright Spots…

You’re discussing a situation with your husband and you mention a name. Your six your old looks up and says, “That’s the one that makes you cry, right?”.

And you laugh.

Going on a photographic hike with your husband and it turns into a blood sport.

“I saw it first!”

“No, me!”

“Oh I wanted that angle, let me take that one!”

“It’s not level, it’ll never turn out!”

“Neither is the earth, get lost!”

Only we could turn something so serene and lovely into a competition.

Throwing elbow macaroni, a can of peas, mushroom soup and tuna all together, calling it a casserole and watching the seventeen year old get excited that she’s finally getting a decent meal.

Getting phone calls and emails sending prayers, well wishes, votes of confidence and support for a battle I had not intended to wage. I’m now at the point of no return but if my words can impact positive change for others in the future…so be it.
