outside looking in

The past few weeks have been an up and down roller coaster of emotions.  Life at home, with a daughter having left on bad terms, has been surreal.  Home life is much better and the relationship's in the house are growing however, emotions and worry for the one not here is great. 
The biggest grace experienced over this time was from the oldest's boyfriend.  He joined us for New Year's, spending the night.  He watched the Rose Bowl Parade with us (his first time ever seeing it).  We took him T.V. shopping and paid the unexpected environment disposal tax.  It was commented that he only wished he had a family like ours.
 Perspective is a grace; one that many of us do not fully appreciate as many of us have never lived from a place of real darkness.  Here is to one who lived in darkness and has been graced with perspective.
