If you want to bawl your eyes out, go to this blog and watch the video. If you don’t want to, I don’t blame you. It’s an incredibly sad story. But it’s also filled with love, hope, inspiration, and the true meaning of friends, family, and community. Lately I’ve been thinking of them when I’m feeling hopeless and frustrated with my job search, with our struggle to find the right child care fit for us and Theo, and when I am irritated by the many trivial things that irritate me on a daily basis. I want to remind myself that there are much greater struggles out there. That we will overcome the hurdles that life throws at us. That we are able. I have a wonderful little family, a healthy family. And we have so many immediate family and friends who love us and Theo so much. I have a wonderful partner who is working hard to make things better for us. And most importantly, an amazing little boy who lights up our lives every second of every day.
