Revelations Continue

I've said before how I was amazed that not until a year past our exit from crisis did I finally feel like I might begin to understand myself again.
Apparently, the same is true for my masculine half. This couples' holiday was marked with a great breakthrough in his healing process. He's spent this time marching forward, burrying what has happened and what could happen. All this time, even as I've been getting better (thanks to some outside perspective via my glorious brain mechanic) I've felt unnamed disconnect, no matter how well we seemed to function together. And all too often, we would experience moments when we couldn't be effective teammates, for no apparent reason. He finally admitted to himself and to me that he's been pretending, trying to 'fake it til you make it'. I suspect instead of employing the skills of a professional as I resorted to, he'll muddle through and iron this out very effectively on his own. The man is reflective, if he's anything, that's for sure.

Now for some light-hearted pics:

  1. Im so happy for your family!!! My heart breaks for familys going through these tough times when children are affected with illness. I have kept checking in since i first found your blog and it fills me with such joy to find your faimily doing well and Kaleb doing so well. We just found out ourselves that our son who is 4 now will probally not have to have any more Open Heart Surgeries!! He has hypolastice Left Heart Syndrum, and he is beating all the odds for a child with this condition. We are so blessed to have this happen to our family, and I will pray that Kaleb contines on his recovery and stays strong and lovely!!! I love your post about what trouble he got into with the cream, chris is a little crazy man on wheels too. lol

    All my best to you and your family,thank so so much for sharing your life and stories with us!!
