It was enchanting to meet you...

Something big happened today.

Something big happened 14 years ago.

All of it was important.

Every second was necessary.

And now that it's over, things are weird.

14 years.

 

It was intense.

It was insane.

It was passionate.

It was painful.

It hurt.

It was beautiful.

It was lovely.

It was lonely.

It was confusing.

It was stressful.

It was filled with tears.  And smiles.  And joy.  And hate.  And it made two kids that I would never ever exchange for anything.

Don't ever say it will never happen to you.

Don't judge.  And never let your guard down.

You don't ever really know yourself or anyone else until everything you know is almost lost.  You can't ever really be sure of what you're capable of.  Until that moment.  That one moment.  When everything changes forever.

 

"Beginnings are scary.  Endings are usually sad.  But it's what's in the middle that counts.  So when you find yourself at the beginning, just give hope a chance to float up.  And it will." -- Birdee Pruitt, Hope Floats
