It was a crazy few days but I managed to spend some time with every member of my family during my whirlwind trip home. I saw Tiny T take a few stumbling first steps, I reassured myself that Miss M still knows who I am, and perhaps hardest of all I spent some time with my grandpa who may not know exactly who I am anymore, but who seemed to recognize at least that I was someone he loved.
I am so incredibly blessed to be a part of my family. Individually they are amazing people, but together we've proven time and time again we can do anything we put our minds too.
I'm often asked how I manage the basics of life while I'm away from home. The truth is - I'm only able to manage it because I have a great family who helps me out. A mom who picks up my mail and helps me get the bills paid on time. A dad who helps me keep up with boring things like taxes and insurance. A brother who keeps my technology stuff up and running. And a sister and BIL who watch over my house.
I know, without a doubt, I couldn't make it on my own.
