When the going gets tough...keep going!

So, some days are hard. I am not going to lie.  I feel like it is my job to be strong and keep everything going but sometimes it is just hard.  I feel like I have hit a brick wall: I am exhausted, emotional, overwhelmed, lonely, etc.  I have turned into that desperate girl who keeps calling people to "chat." I am still struggling with the loss of my friend, Jen.  I have a million things I want to say to her- and I can't.  I want to be able to talk to B about everything I am feeling, but there never seems to be the time.  I am lucky to im for a few minutes a day.  It is a feeling of overwhelming loneliness.  However, when I felt like I was hitting such a huge low, over the baby monitor, I heard the sweetest sound of Caroline talking.  I went in there and saw this:

This was exactly what she (and bear) looked like when I walked in.  I was so glad I had left the camera in her room and could catch this "sweet conversation." It reminded me how incredibly blessed I am.  I guess the Lord knew I needed a little perspective in life.  I am lucky and I am grateful.
