Hope this post finds you all well. Aaron and I have been struggling with what's next for us? As most of you know Aaron has been struggling with his health and has been taking a medical time off to get well. It has been so good for him and for us as a family. His committment to doing what he needs to do with his treatment, but also being able to reconnect with our boys has been such a blessing.
Through all this I have been struggling with my past and things that happened with my Brother. He is now out of jail and doing very well. He has been through some tough spots the last couple of weeks, but has NOT returned to the drug and violent lifestyle that he has in the past. This is huge. I have struggled with hurt and anger during this time, over the past few months. I haven't really communicated with him or had our boys around him.
He is living with my Mother and he has minded my wishes and on Weds. when my Mother has our boys, Cory (brother) finds somewhere else to go or to work. Last Tuesday night he asked if I would meet him and my Mother for dinner. I agreed--God started to work in my heart. Over the next several days leading up to that dinner. God just spoke to me....let it all go start over start fresh....FORGIVE. Boy have I struggled with the forgiveness thing (as you probably saw in previous posts.)
SO I did...I loaded up Jaycob and Tyler and we drove to dinner in Fife with my Mother and Brother. My Mother didn't know I was coming let alone the kids, and Cory had no idea the kids were coming. We shocked everyone and It was a great night.
ALL I CAN SAY IS IT WAS A GOD THING.
Have great week you all. We love you and are so glad that you have been put in our lives!
