Finding Cheer in a Sea of Sadness






I've had a day to let the "news" sink in. I've cried more than I've ever cried in my whole life. I try not to talk about it, but at times all I can do is talk about it, state the facts. Go over the information I already have in my head. Think about other things it could be...
I am being optimistic.
I spent some time with Mom, Dad, Kimberly, Wyatt, Gage, Delaney, Garrett, Lucy and Aric last night. I spent tonight (Christmas Eve) with lots of extended family at GG's. We all had a good time. There were no tears. It was the longest stretch I've gone so far with NO tears. Everyone at Grandma's doesn't know yet. I like it that way. I want NORMAL. I need NORMAL. At least for now, for the time being until we have MORE information. Real proof of the "cancer."
My dad was smiley tonight, he was trying to be the same old dad that I know and love! But I know he's looking at everything different. The way he watches the grandkids is more in awe and deeper than before. So as we prepare for Christmas morning here the kids are SUPER excited! They don't know the reality of what may or may not be happening. We have everything in order! We will be spending the WHOLE day at Mom and Dad's tomorrow and soaking up as much Williamson family time as possible! It's gonna be WONDERFUL!
All in all It's still a Wonderful Life.
