It’s a pretty amazing experience what we are doing in many ways. I personally thought that it would be all wine and roses, we wanted it so bad, and could envision how it looked… a dream that so many people would never get the chance to experience.
The biggest shock was that it didn’t look like wine and roses for a time. It was hard, challenging and frustrating.
There were certianly many moments in each day which were good, even great, but as many that sucked. It was hard to get my head around that’s how the dream looked.
I could see in deb that she wasn’t happy, wasn’t enjoying, and that made me even more fearful, and less willing to look at my own uncertianty… after all who was going to be the cheerleader?
Fortunatly, each day of the last few weeks brings with it sunshine (despite the gale force winds!)… and a true happiness and peace with how it is, the reality of what it truly looks like. Real Life.
I can now see it in her eyes, in her step, and i can now feel it in myself every day, all day. We both take time each day to express it. We are both in a truly happy, happy place.
This experience is an amazing one, one where we get to grow together, count on each other, and enjoy together. The hard parts break you down, show your weakest sides… but then that all adds to the strenght of who we are, what we can still become.
