The days of summer are ticking by, and as usual, I am filled to the brim with tasks (mostly from my own instigation, I must add). Grad School is winding down for a few weeks, and I am thrilled to be putting the final touches on my projects. I am waiting, however, to find out my destiny at work for the fall STILL, though it is August. My patience amazes me...:) Maybe becoming a mom has stretched my ability to wait for things more than I had thought. Also, with the summer winding down, we are coming upon Grayson's THIRD birthday! It only seems like yesterday in some ways that I was praying and staying still, yet my baby is turning into a very independent little boy more and more each day!
A few weeks ago, a friend of mine lost her husband quite suddenly. I cannot even begin to describe my grief, yet alone that which she and her young daughter must feel. I feel blessed that I was able to spend a few days with them and help her get through first difficult steps, but I was shaken to the core to learn what a person has to do when their spouse dies. I cannot even begin to describe how strong she is, and how proud I am to be her friend. She is amazing, and I though I feel helpless in being able to ease her pain, I have vowed to do my best to be there for her. It's moments like these that make me realize how fortunate I am in my friends and family, and I am once again reminded that I need to say it more often.
