I am still here friends. I have crossed over to the next leg of our difficult journey and that was my husband’s surgery. He spent the weekend in the hospital after his surgery on Friday. I got him home yesterday, but have really been trying to take the best care of him as I know how. I have to stay ahead of his pain management and have to figure out the right balance of letting him sleep and getting him to walk.
I am also trying to balance my daughter’s health issues as well as her recovery from her sinus surgery just 2 weeks ago. I now am trying to meet his health needs while still taking care of her and getting her to her doctor appointments as well.
Balance, that is the struggle I have at the moment. Then there is my own personal exhaustion in meeting their health needs. As a result of my exhaustion I can’t find the words that are hiding in my head to be able to write.
Please know I have not given up on my blogging. I just have to get through this difficult place and then I will be back. Hopefully encouraging you all again.

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I served in the United States Army, went to college, received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology, homeschooled my daughter every year from start to finish, and now I am currently a daycare teacher's aide (soon to be a two-year-old teacher coming this fall).
I married my husband when he was in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform.
While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 24 years old now, was born and I made the difficult decision to put my career on hold to be her mom.
The past 20 years have been wrought with many struggles but as a result of those struggles, this blog was created.
As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to then it is my desire to allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing."
The years passed and the struggles did not. However, I feel now is the time God wants me to share these stories of hardships with the hopes they provide encouragement to you if you are struggling in the same way. It is my prayer they will serve as a healing opportunity for you.
I want you to know you are not alone. There are others who know where you are and what you are feeling.
Cling to the hope this won't last forever and that God is standing beside you while He holds you up and dries your tears. He is showing you the way, you just need to follow Him.
Big Hugs, Heidi
