Turning 9 was rough. My son was going through such a troubled time and I really did not know exactly why. Just a month after his birthday my world was turned upside down. It's been a long, rough two years for all of us. But my heart is so full of joy and happiness as I look at my boy and see how far he has come, how much he has changed and how much he has healed over the past couple of years. It has been painful to watch him go through the healing process...utterly heartbreaking, to be honest. He is a constant reminder to me of the resilience of the human spirit and that love can give a person what they need to change.
I am proud to report that my son is absolutely thriving, in every way. Sure, he still acts like a 10/11 year old boy and that can be pretty annoying, but he is one great kid that I am proud to call my son. He (we) has been through some very dark times, times that were confusing and frustrating and scary and angry. But we as a family have never lost our faith and have always known that we would find our way out of the darkness, step by step and back into the light. When you are surrounded by love and faith that God will use your pain and carry you safely through the storm, you can rest assured that you will walk out on the other side of the tunnel. And step by step, we are.
