Changes

July 1, wow, the year is half over! There have been so many changes in our lives over the last year. It is sort of astounding and flooring to think back over the last year of all that has gone on!

My father passed away on June 30 last year. That has been rough for all of us..myself, my husband, my children..we have all had it tough. Due to his passing, we had much paper work to deal with as my mother had already passed away and I am an only child. We moved into his home and completely remodeled and expanded that as well.

My daughter got married in August of last year and had her first child in March of this year. That was a tough one as well. Seeing my little girl being all grown up, getting married, having a child of her own. I am thankful that she asked for me to be in the delivery room with her and her husband.

My son went from being a perfectly healthy ADHD little boy to being an ill but happy little man. We are still working with doctor's to get his health back for him and have it more manageable. He went from being homeschooled, to being in public school, and back to homeschool.

It never ceases to amaze me how many changes can take place in just one year's time. We have laughed, cried, rejoiced, sorrowed, fought, kicked, screamed, been companions, been enemies, yeah...the whole spectrum of emotions going on over the last year for us. All is well, things just had to run their course. We've made new friends, lost other friends for whatever reasons. We've gone from being a family of four to a family of six...counting my son in law and my grandson. We've gone from struggling with debt to being clear of debt. We've gone from having nothing to having everything, or so it seems to us. Not been an easy road, but life is never easy for the average person. Things will get easier after time, and then, they may get more difficult. That is the funny thing about life.....everything changes in the blink of an eye. Sure has been an interesting year, well actually, two years for my family.
