Good grief! How did all of March pass without me even posting once? I have legitimate excuses, I think.
I've been in a bit of a fog, to tell you the truth. And who can blame me? My husband had heart surgery. He's recovering relatively well, with no huge issues. He will probably be able to return to work on April 4th.
My sister, on the other hand, has been in and out of ICU, for various reasons, has had her hopes of going home dashed several times, and is still in the hospital. April 4th will mark
six weeks of hospitalization. They are now telling her she might get to go home Monday or Tuesday. I hate this for her.
In spite of what has been going on in my family, spring has managed to show up, though it's been unseasonably cool the last week or so. I see beauty and bruises in this season.
And really, it's no different any other season. Always, always, it's
life and death, steps forward, steps backwards, excitement,
disappointment. I keep having to remind myself: this is the way it is on this road we know as life.
Still, I spent the entire month of March feeling very vulnerable, and as usual, I didn't really like it. Not one little bit.
Here is hoping for an April without bruises, but with lots of beauty.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rach!
DeleteAnd you got through it. So here is to a new month and Spring!
ReplyDeleteYes, I did! And now we all have Spring!
DeleteDoes anyone ever learn to like that feeling? I can't imagine that one would. I'm glad your husband is doing well, and if your sister didn't go home today, then I hope it's tomorrow and all is well with her for quite some time, at least. Praying you a happier April!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan! She is home now. She has to finish healing from the surgery before she can begin chemo.
