together we are tougher...

my family is one that can only be described as 'different'... a family with much closeness, realness and honesty... where personalities are so different and morals so alike... where opinions cause arguments and are often left with no real agreement but the understanding that we all make our own choices... where togetherness brings enjoyment and good times.... and we each get a chance to be the joke of the party... a family where this week we may not see each other but next we will over do it.... where when life stumbles on one, we together with much love and hope continue to make each day count....

and together we are so much tougher....



with much heartache and tears we once again find ourselves battling that of another sickness... one leaving us with loads of questions why and how....

for so long we have embraced life's struggles with love and laughter... bringing so much hope and positiveness into our home... taking on each high and low with an open mind...

but how long can we be strong without ever really breaking down????

as i sit here alone i discover that my once cherished quiet time has now turned into that of a nightmare... where my thoughts have time to develop into undesired anger and loss... my tears unable to find any real ending and my heart aching for that i know i will someday too soon lose....
adjusting to this new challenge i find myself scared and troubled not only for my family and i but that of my nephew who has yet to discover the gentle, strong man my father is....
still living in disbelief i find myself hoping that this may all be a dream and somehow i miss interpreted everything that was said.... but i know it's true...

life is going to change in big giant steps for my family and i.... and all i can do is pray in hope that time gives us a little longer than what we know...
and with each day comes strength....

together we are tougher...
