Love

Love is God's answer. It is the way by which we heal. It has radically changed my perspective, my purpose, and my very being. And when things don't work out the way that you plan - well... it's good to remember that you are loved, and that you are carried in the arms of a loving Father in Heaven.

I am grateful for all of the support that has been shown to Jaren and I. We are moving forward in faith.

I truly feel that my friends and family have given me the strength to wake up another morning, and to go outside, and to find hope and happiness in darker times. I am grateful for each prayer, phone call, email, flower, cookie, or visit. I am grateful for those that could talk for me when I just couldn't make another call. I am grateful to those that weren't hurt by me not calling... and still showed compassion and love.

I don't claim to understand this life, but I do know that those eleven weeks were a gift. More than anything, I am grateful that Jaren could help me to understand this. And yes, one more time - I feel humbled to have such an amazing person as my soul mate.
