Gosh, I really never meant for this blog to become a journal of Huxley and our journey but I know that one day I’ll forget some of the details and one day when someone else is going through this I want to say YES, those feelings are valid and not just say it but 100% make them feel not alone and I want to remember the small strange things that were hard that I didn’t anticipate being hard. Often times it’s the small things you wouldn’t think of that are the hardest simply because you didn’t think of them. I want to remember those examples to hopefully help someone else before they get to those things and help prepare because there’s soooo many things you just can’t prepare for so a heads up in some of those areas would just be helpful. Also just to give insight to those who haven’t gone through this but may have a friend that has. My village or tribe or people (whatever you like to call the people you do life with) have been incredible more so than I would have known how to be in their position and I want to share some of things they taught me in how to respond. I also want you to have a glimpse of what life is looking like even when it looks okay (because it isn’t always), that’s the one thing I’ve heard a lot of, is appreciating the vulnerability to share that glimpse because not everyone will want to but it can help us all understand how to respond to those we love regardless of what they want or are able to share. Lastly, I hope this reaches some non believers and that God may use our story to speak to you. Of course, one day I anticipate writing about other things as well but for now… this is where I’m at.
