Summing up another year that I have survived, though not without more heartache. Since my happiest moment of last year when Jim and I got married until today I went from one extreme to the other and am proud to say that I am still in one piece.
We lost my moms house, and we lost our precious baby Isaiah to sids at just three months old. One week apart from tragedy to tragedy, how we made it I have no clue. But we are here, we are stronger as a family and as individuals. We are holding one another up the best we can and we know that we can overcome everything put in our way. This is what I choose to believe, to carry forward, to instill in myself and others because giving up is never an option. Bring on 2021 I am not afraid.
It has been our privilege to walk beside you and your family this year. It has also been a wonderment for me to see your indomitable spirit rise from the ashes of deep depression and loss and trauma to be the resilient, strong woman who you are today. We will always consider you folks as adopted members of our family here in Spokane. There are many lessons that 2020 has offered us to learn. The lessons presented us start as experiences that we live through, then, questions for us to ponder and recieve insight from, then acceptance of what is. We wish for you, Jim, and Jacob an enjoyable, meaningful holiday this 2020 Christmas and 2021 New Year. As you so brilliantly and courageously put it "Bring on 2021 I am not afraid."
