What happened to my life?...

Its been ten days. Ten days since I moved to Pennsylvania and I have experienced a huge roller coaster of emotions. My family, especially my little sister, have been helpful in cleaning up what was a huge mess of boxes and clutter. Bella got sick for the first time and needed antibiotics, I am sick with what feels like a sinus infection. Tomorrow my sister will be going home and taking my Zachary with her. I will miss them terribly. I have to say, I knew that this transition, this huge change in our lives, was going to be hard, but its taken ten days for me to realize that once again life as I knew it is over and now I have to start over yet again. New beginnings are suppose to be scary, or so I have heard. I'm petrified.  I'm frozen. The distractions I had in NY are far away and now I have to face my life, and I don't know how. Choosing between dealing with this grief that grips me tightly and having to be alert and present for Kristin and Bella is a challenge I don't know if I am able to face. How do I choose between my daughters who are here, and my sons who are not?...I cant do both right now because I just dont know how. Why did God bring me out here to the woods, where I am forced to look at my life and myself without any buffer? I feel as if my heart is being ripped into pieces.

  1. Wow. So honest and raw. I know God has a plan for you guys being out there and he will get you through it. You are stronger than you think and your love for ALL of your children will bring you out on the other side. I love you and can't wait to see you Friday.

You asked me to write this, so here goes. The only way I remember we had genuine good times is when I look at old photos of us from eleven...
