Realization

Today, I went to talk to a friend who helped me put a few things into perspective. She said, “There is something you should think about when you think about all of your recent struggles. This is going to be hard for you to hear. Are you ready? THIS is the best time in your life!”

It was *how* she said it that turned the light on. The relief it brought lasted all afternoon; the feeling of “You know? You’re absolutely right. I have my husband (and daughter) and you’re exactly right.”

It only took me 15 tissues to get there. 🙂
