Have you ever had one of those moments when you realize that whatever is about to happen in the next few minutes or hours could change your life forever?
Sure, with the luxury of hindsight, we can look back and recognize all sorts of decisions that changed the course of our lives -- like the moment I decided to send Mr. B that first email -- but at the time we didn't have a clue that anything out of the ordinary was going on.
But those stomach-wrenching moments when you are well aware you are walking up to the edge of a cliff with no idea what will happen when you take that step over the edge... those are a whole 'nother thing. Like, say, the morning of your wedding. Or when you feel the first pang of labor. Or even when you pick up the stick you peed on ten minutes earlier and slowly turn it over.
Anxious, much?
In half an hour, I am going to leave work to catch a ferry to catch a cab to the Highly Regarded Cancer Treatment Center where Mr. B and I will be told what in the hell is going on.
After that, who knows?

ReplyDeleteYou'll find the strength you didn't know you had. You'll walk into it, and through it. You will come out stronger, wiser, and see the world in a new way. And you all will be successful in doing the very best that you can in every way.
ReplyDeleteI hope things turned out well! It always seems like those things can't ever happen to you--big, stomach jerking moments. And then they do and it's like you can hardly believe that part of your life has come.
