Ive had a hard time finding the silver lining the last few months. My illness has taken a toll not just physically but also emotionally and probably the hardest has been spiritually, and doing it all while continuing to be separated from my husband and my dogs and my kids has been daunting to say the least. But tonight I just have to smile at one of the gifts of this experience, of this life chapter. Despite the pain, the fear, the anger, and the frustration I have to say I am so eternally grateful for this time with my parents. I love my mother unabashedly and I relish time spent with her...but tonight I realized how close Ive grown to my step-dad through all of this. We dont always see eye to eye and we dont always understand each other (and sometimes he intimidates the hell out of me) But underneath it all we share a love of laughter and tonight as we regaled my poor mother with Caddy Shack, Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddle Quotes intermingled with football I just felt this connection that means more than perhaps he will ever know. If I got all mushy/touchy feely on him it would probably make him so uncomfortable, but its all good for I will always cherish this time to finally feel like family with him... a priceless gift during a trying time. So Im off to order a DVD of Airplane (to the tower Rapunzel) because Im so excited to share that with him too. #blessed #family #silverlining
