Someone asked me today how I was doing and for the first time in almost 7 months, I replied "I'm good." I didn't really think about it at first but, because my answer caught me by surprise, I've been thinking about it for some time now. It really is a bittersweet milestone. In the last couple of days, Justin and I have taken quite a few steps forward, it's starting to feel like the giant dark cloud is finally beginning to pass and things are looking bright again. We feel like it is finally time to start living again and to allow some joy back into our home. It is exciting but at the same time, it feels as if we are leaving Emelyn behind. I know that the sadness will never fully go away and her memory definitely will never leave us but we are moving forward, up and out of the valley, we are looking out at the horizon and are excited to see what is in store for our family.
"Good" Mommy,
looking forward with anticipation, excited for what is in store
