I know I've been among the missing here in blog-world. And I really have no excuse except to say that it has been a tumultuous summer on this end. I am praying that things settle down for the fall and some sense of order prevails very shortly. I do not do well amid chaos and disorganization. And I find it difficult to be still enough to write. To take pictures. To want to record stressful times.
Everyone is healthy and well thank goodness! It is 'just' the logistics of taking on many more work hours out of necessity and trying to arrange safe, reliable care for Sarah. Her health insurance will be affected, which is scary. It is a complicated puzzle, whose pieces have yet to fall into place. The uncertainty is almost paralyzing and I just have to have faith that things are going the way they are supposed to and that in the end I will be able to keep Sarah's life small and comfortable-just the way she so desperately needs it to be.
And so I don't feel my usual joyfulness these days, I am mostly fearful, which is a rarity for me. But the stakes are very high. Maintaining a young lady, such as Sarah, in her own home takes flexibility, creativity, perseverence, and a healthy income. It's tough to do as a single parent. And I know it.
So there it is.
