THANK YOU!!!

Faith, Family, Mommy Blogger

I wish I could say we are always happy. I wish I could say things are easy. I wish I could say we are strong and nothing affects us. BUT I can’t. We have been sad as a family and I have been exceptionally sad as a wife/mother/daughter/sister/friend. I pray, I have faith, I wake up with high hopes every morning but lately all of it feels overwhelming. 

Yesterday I asked Craig to grab bulk diapers from Walmart on the way home from picking up Jax because we needed diapers and right now we need cheap ones. They did and I was thankful. This morning I was woken up with a thank you card from Craig and the babies. I didn’t sleep well last night with a teething one year old. I am also not a morning person. But waking up to a card with a personalized note from my husband and each of our kids who are old enough to write’s signatures, was something I didn’t know I needed. My heart crumbled, my fears disappeared, exhaustion seemed like the least of my concerns and I felt full. 

Later I found out that Jax read five different cards himself to pick the one he knew would melt me the way it did. The fact that my husband spent the time with not only our son but my stepson showing him the ways of being a good man to a woman melted me even more. Hence additional tears. After I read the card, my five year old daughter brought me her favorite unicorn stuffed animal to cuddle with. My three year old son brought me an ice pack from the freezer because he’s the klutzy one who usually needs a good icing after a fall. My one year old didn’t know what was going on and that was fine. BUT knowing I have this kind of support in my house will keep me going happily and strongly for another year. 

Partners, especially those who are struggling financially, it just takes a card. I put so much unnecessary pressure sometimes on date nights or adult time but a home-made or bought from Halmark for six bucks card  is perfect. I can’t explain the fuel that I have from those simple words and signatures. It was just too special to forget and too special to not share. LOVE to everyone. Pray, have faith, and write a card for someone you think might need it right now.

    Tell me how I can send you something, please. I had to struggle for years with 4 small children and I know how frightening it is. You guys have seen us all through some rough times with your humor, love and music. When I feel down or discouraged, I listen to Old Rugged Cross sung by Craig. It helped me get through a stroke, the loss of my Dad and many smaller trials. God Bless your family.

    Treasure each day like there’s no tomorrow. Appreciate the gifts that have been given to you and most importantly thank God for each day you are awakened to see your loved ones and for each second you are able to breathe in order to see the beauty of all the gifts!

    Taylor you bring reality of life to your writings. This is so beautifully, raw and real. Many people would not have been brave enough to write about such trueness of everyday life, but you have done it. I appauld you for this because we need to hear about the ups and downs of life, with the love and togetherness of our family and those loved ones that surround us, notice we are down, lift us up, and are there for us. Thank you for sharing ❤️.
