Hope

So I'm getting married in a little more than a month. It's odd the way these bench marks in life come along. They never quite work out the way I always thought but when they come to pass I couldn't imagine them more perfect. This last month has been an experience. Last week I spent my time in Houston watching two of my relatives suffer from life threatening ailments. Death is something that changes things and as I watched them both struggle against the prospect I gained a new appreciation for humanity. For the way we were made, for the way we need each other and how even more so we need an explanation to this whole big thing. We need something bigger to believe in and to believe that this something is in fact, good and loving. I'm thankful that this is shown even more in the dark times; an unexplainable light that helps us to know it will be ok.

I'm thankful for these times of learning how to care. In marriage or sickness I realize that life never looks how we thought it would, relativity seems to last for only the present but makes our lives that much richer that we can't predict it all.
