It's amazing what can happen in 365 days. This time last year Sean and I were just finishing up a lightening fast nursery make over. The bright yellow room was turned into a blue and green room fit for a little boy. We were all eagerly awaiting Sebastian's arrival.
His arrival has been the brightest spot this year. Dad's passing was the darkest. Even though it's been 7 months, there are still hard days. (Especially as Sebastian grows and gets into things.) I used to call my dad all the time to tell him what the girls were up to and it's hard not to do the same for my little boy. I know he's watching from above, but I miss that two way conversation.
As hard as the year has been, there are always bright spots:
-a visit from the whole family for dad's funeral
-a healthy, happy little boy that's now crawling!
-a wonderful summer spent playing in the pool
-two beautiful girls that love school
-a perfect TCU football season
my list could go on and on, but I think I'll stop there.
As I look toward the next 365 days I hope my life is filled with joy. That's my word for 2010 and what I hope to find in every facet of my day. What will be your word for the next 365?
