It has been a couple of days since I last posted and things have been going very well. My life is not amazingly wonderful but it is also not horrifyingly terrible. :) Nick is doing well, I am so proud of all of the hard work he has done. I am also doing well, even though I miss my husband every day. I have been supported by my family and friends so much and they have kept me sane. (so far at least!)
Last week my mom and my sister came to see me and we went shopping at Kohl's. I was wandering through the store when my eye caught a cute little sign that stated quite simply, "life is good". My eyes teared as I thought about the simplistic truth in that statement. No matter how sad I was, how much I missed Nick, or how lonely I felt, life is still good. I am alive, my darling is alive and safe, I have a wonderful family and loving friends, life is good. That sign meant so much to me that my mom bought it for me! As she (my mom) and my sister packed some of the things in our living room I asked them to leave that sign out. We hung it in a prominent place on the living room wall so that any time I sit on my sofa I am reminded that "life is good" and that all of the sadness will come to pass.
One last thing before I collapse into bed, one of my friends taught me the beginnings of crochet tonight! I am really excited and I'm planning on getting some yarn and a crochet hook tomorrow so that I can start on a project! Anyway, I'm off to bed now, thank you for reading and please continue to keep Nick and me in your prayers!
