SA, KJ, MHL, and Mermaid - Thanks for your encouragement! It's nice to hear people are rooting. Know that I am rooting for everyone here as well!
I am trying to remain detached and keep my expectations way down there. Not doing too badly there.
MHL, thanks for the analogy about the marathon. It is so fitting. I know I am just weary (as all of us are). The last year and a half have been completely emotionally and physically exhausting (from lack of sleep - still suffer from insomnia, having to do everything on my own, etc.) and I am just tired. Now that it SEEMS like I am getting closer and closer to the finish line some days I feel like I just can't put one more foot in front of the other. Even with the positives. I'm trying to put this back into God's hands and back off, trusting Him because He has come through for me the past year and a half in pretty amazing ways.
Honestly, being invited to my H's work deal last week seemed like an impossibility that it would ever happen again. I am still kind of in shock. It was truly a gift though, because I got to see him in his element again acting like a normal person. All we have seen the past year and a half is when he is around us (mostly at home) and in all his MLC glory. I am grateful for that glimpse of him.
