I sit here tonight and I am reminded of those that are struggling.  My family with the little girl trying to stay in this world.  The little one that is smaller than what my little miracle guy was, is fighting for her life.  I cannot begin to even bring myself to remember the pain, fear and “whatever you are feeling” moments of almost 21 years ago.  You are never ready for a premie baby.  No one is ever ready for life to change the plan.  I send every part of my prayers and healing thoughts to this amazing little girl.

I am also very somber about someone new to my life having to deal with something that is so very hard. A life that is uncertain because of sickness and a family that is broken because of the aftereffects of a disease they cannot control.  A disease that they have tried to live with but seems to deteriorate life right in front of them. We cannot seem to manage the lives of those we love. Yet, we love them just the same.  Prayers to this family is all I can do.

I am also reminded of a life that has changed due to circumstances that are not controllable.  So many surgeries to find the cure but none is available.  A life that is missing a significant part but yet seems whole to others.  Friends want to help by finding the silver lining in all and you knowing that the silver lining either a myth or something else. A sadness that covers you like a blanket that is soaked in darkness. My thoughts and prayers are with you as long as you need.

There are so many things in my life that cause me to be sad, upset or whatever.  I am so often reminded that there are many things that can cause so much more pain that I can feel today.

For 2019, I wish for all to find peace.  We likely cannot find happiness in our jobs, life or world but I am hopeful that we can find peace.  Even if it for a moment or a day, peace is an oasis that we can hang on to. Even if peace is a passing fancy, I hope that a sense of love can envelop your life.  I am hopeful that you can feel that love that radiates from those that want to hold you near!
