I have a lot to catch up on in the blog world and things that are worth note but perhaps the most important is the one I am currently dealing with. Introducing the subject of death and dying with kids traumatized by loss. My mother, who has been ill for years and has been hospitalized and operated on more in the last decade than anyone I know. Each time you hold your breath and hope all works out and you never give up the hope that there is fight left. I really thought after a kidney transplant things would be different. Well things are different but still not good.

The Precious Gift

Once upon a time there were two people who lived on a beautiful green and blue planet. Each was raised in another part of the world, they spoke different languages, went to different schools and their lives were unique, for all but one thing, each had the same hope. One man was a poet, the other a painter.

Ok, so one some level despite the hope I would be wrong my intuition could not have been more correct. I got dumped by the guy I was seeing. Not for the reasons that were spoken but for other reasons that were not spoken. The interesting fact is that I should have known this was a game and I should have never played…but how does one tell?

Well it is mid February and this is the week of school vacation. I am usually laying on a beach by now with Ben playing in blue water and me thinking of nothing. However this year we have Bryce who is now free for adoption and paperless. The adoption process is difficult I will admit and there is not a way to describe it but there are things that you do not think about.

As of this afternoon, Bryce is free for me to adopt. After the appeal period, we can move to finalize and then be done!

Ok, so I am getting to the point where this is almost becoming a monthly occurrence to get something posted. As life is speeding along at a rapid pace; I feel like I am paddling as fast as I can. However, is it ever fast enough?

Ok if I had to pick the reindeer that most resembles my life it would be Dasher. I do not know where the time has gone between getting off the plane from South Dakota to the eve before 2008. How do I possible relay all of the things that have been so wonderful about this season and the things I am hopeful for in 2008? I guess a brief retrospective of the last month and my hopes for 2008.
