“When life gives you lemons make lemonade!” Well it feels like someone gave me a big ‘ol bag of lemons this week.
First, hubby has been having crazy back pain for 3 months. This week we finally get him in to see a good doctor and the next day he had surgery. He is already experiencing a ton of improvement in his pain level. This is so good to hear, however the recovery will be long and hard. Luckily we have a wonderful community of people around us who are willing to help with the kids, which is a blessing.

Second, my running buddy and our second “child” is sick. And I mean sick and isn’t going to get better sick. So tomorrow I have to take him to the vet to say goodbye. It will be a sad day.
So I’m choosing to make lemonade with life’s lemons in all this craziness. I’m choosing to hold on to the truths and promises we have all been given. Matthew 6:33 is today’s encouragement for me.
And I also choose to add some liquor to my Gluten Free lemonade tonight!
I’m SO very sorry Pam. That is one of the absolute HARDEST decisions I have ever had to make… and I still miss my Mitten every single day… I will be praying for you. Much much love to you & your family during this hard time!! And I’m also thankful that your hubs is doing much better!! (And I love that Cheribundi lemonade — Taste Guru box?)
I’m sorry for all the challenges. Saying goodbye to a pet is never easy, and I will be sending you comforting thoughts during this hard time. Hope your husband feels better and everything slows down a bit.
Oh Pam I am so sorry…losing a pet is so incredibly hard. Glad to hear that your husband’s surgery went OK though, and I’ll be thinking of you all!
