2011

in 2011 my husband had a seizure which was later to be discovered as a brain tumour. How do you explain that to the boys? We told them daddy was sick and had to be in the hospital for a few days. At one point Tyler built an MRI machine from the train table and blocks and ropes and a whole bunch of other toys to take photos of daddy's head. It's not that I'm putting the boy in a box but um, it's safe to say Tyler has "engineer" type qualities! I'm glad Tristan was only 3 when this happened because he wasn't really old enough to process some of the events that went on. in December Steve went for surgery and that was harder for the boys because he was away from home longer - and when Steve got home he slept a lot. But he is fine and his energy is growing and the boys are getting their dad back. There is nothing like children to force you to focus and move on. I remember the day after Steve's seizure when we didn't know what was going on and Tristan looked at me and said "I'm hungry". My first thought was how dare you bother me with trivial things when my world is collapsing and then I looked closer at him and realized that my world is every little thing around me and God is at the centre saying TRUST ME. and I did and we at only peanut butter and honey sandwiches but the world went on and we smiled and laughed and God is faithful
