My trip away is coming to a close. I have learned a lot about myself in the past few days, taken out of the enivironment I had gotten so used to. I realized that I don't need the mothering that I once thought was so vital to my survival. Life is hard, but I get that I have and can do it and I'm doing a pretty damn good job about it. What I had assumed was mothering was really just help...and everyone needs help. I feel like I have finally grown up. Rarely was there talk of cancer and counts, radiation and the transplant instead it was replaced by talk of food, fun and relationships, laughter and comfortable silence. It tells me that normal is not far away and that it will be as easy to slip back into as it was to come back here to be with family.
Today I am grateful for...
Amish breakfasts
Amish pie
naps...then more naps
quiet
kimb and jon for letting me do it all and being so great about it.
Avi I'll be home in one more day...
