wide angle

There have been countless factors which brought our little family to where we are today. It's easy to see (and write) using this close-up, critical point of view... but I need to say that yes, I do see the big picture, no matter how much I luuuuv complaining about apartment life or finances.

K sacrificed a job and lifestyle he loved so that I can be healthier. LittleK and R don't suffer much from our big move, but T has an obvious, daily sadness about her because she left so many meaningful people and things behind. Not a week goes by without her reminding us that she will one day live in a house on the prairie again, with her own horses, next door to her best friend.

So, laugh with me about the neighbors, the van, the dog and all of my other microscopic problems... and understand the gratitude I have to just be alive, with the people who luuuuuv me so much.
