Always keep moving forward
If there is one thing that I have learned in my short tenure here on planet Earth, it is that we must never stop moving forward. Experiencing new things, learning, developing, changing; these are all things that help propel us to new points in our lives. There are moments though, some of which seem to take years to get through, that are painful, these too help us to grow and move forward.
I will admit that I am still in one of these "painful" moments. It is taking much longer than I thought it would to rebound from the loss of a child we were going to adopt. This child didn't die, but due to an Ontario policy, children up for adoption are almost always placed with a blood relative of which we are not. So even though we raised him for almost a year, we lost him to a distant relative by marriage, not even a blood relative. I am still reeling from this loss so day by day I deal with the emotions and the stress it has put on my faith.
Life continues to move forward and new possibilities move in to grab at our attention, one of these possibilities has cropped up and in the months to come I will share more about what that is, but not today. Today was/is a great day, a day spent getting closer to my wife and children. We took our yearly romp down to the French River Trading Post for an ice cream, then enjoyed a leisurely drive through the back roads. All in all a great day.
