“Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.” ~Anonymous I have found myself today taking time to begin saying “thank you” to the many who have cared enough to break down the wall I’ve had up this past week as I’ve hidden in […]
I hope that everything you go through this year will help to make you stronger. I’m not going through any similar situations to you but this has definitely been the hardest year of my life thus far. My family has been through a lot and although it’s rough, it really has helped me appreciate those who have been there for me as well.
I’ve been shutting down a lot lately but you’ve really inspired me to want to pick myself up and do more of what I enjoy with the time I have – even if it takes more effort than I feel like putting into it. I don’t think I’d ever regret taking time to draw, crochet or take a photo even when it’s the last thing I feel like doing. I would, however, regret wasting time wallowing in my own thoughts and having nothing at all to show for it later.
I know it’s hard but I hope you can count your blessings. I hope everything that you’re going through allows you to be that much more thankful for the wonderful things that you already have. You and your family will get through this bit of bad luck! 
Hope you have a good rest of your Sunday.
Amanda, For what it’s worth, we finally had our roof fixed by a wonderful guy with very reasonable rates. I was blown away by the complexity of dealing with the insurance company. If you want I can send you Jason’s information and see if he can help you guys out. He definately gave me peace of mind and fixed our problem in a day or two.
With everything else you have to worry about that is real, don’t let the “noise” get to you. You are blessed and not cursed. In spite of what your beautiful family is experiencing right now, you continue to have strength in the love you all share and the prayers which lift all of you in prayer through this difficult time.
