The Sun Still Shines

If Kevin had to have this diagnosis, I think I'm glad it came during the warmth and sun of summer.

After a night of very little sleep, it would have been hard to face a day dreary with rain or cold.

Instead we woke to the sunshine. Birds were still singing in our backyard. Clouds were still gathering in a sky destined to turn blue even in the wee hours of the day.

The yard still needed to be mowed.

This is good. This is normal.

We visited with my sister and brother-in-law at the Farmer's Market. They are saddened, sorry and willing to help with whatever is needed.

We've talked to each of our girls. They would like a few more answers than we have right now. So would we.

It's encouraging to see the sun shining and hear the birds singing today. It's a reminder that life goes on through all sorts of things and we will too.
