Bills paid this month

It was tight all the way to the last day. We had a quiet dinner of rice and eggs and we were grateful and a bit shaken. Pray for those still walking through scarcity. We have been there and we will be there again, probably. Tonight we are paid. Thank God. #thanksgiving

The remission scan was clear

Three years almost to the day from the diagnosis. The doctor said the word 'remission' and I think I said 'thank you' four times before I could pull it together. I am not the same person I was three years ago. I am quieter. I am less impressed by some things and more impressed by others. I cry at the smallest pieces o…

First anniversary — and it has been hard

It was not the year we imagined. We had two job losses, a small loss in the family, and a long stretch where we both just survived next to each other instead of with each other. Pray for the second year. For tenderness to come back. For the small habits — the goodnight, the hand on the shoulder, the laugh at our share…

Our adoption journey, two years in

We have come through one almost-match and one full match that fell through at the last week. We don't know what to call any of it now — hope, grief, tiredness. All of those at once on most days. Pray for our future child wherever they are tonight. Pray for their first family, whose own story we will never fully know. P…

Mum's second opinion appointment is on Thursday

We've been carrying this since the first scan came back uncertain. Some days I'm fine; some days I can barely look at the calendar. Pray for the doctor to be honest and gentle. Pray for the right next step, whatever the answer. And for my dad — he is strong out loud and tired underneath. #healing #family

Praying for my son with autism

He had a hard week at school — sensory overload on Tuesday, then a misunderstanding with a classmate on Thursday. The teachers are kind but stretched. Pray for one breakthrough this month, and for a steady friend. He doesn't need many. He needs one.

The adoption is final

She has been with us as a foster placement for fourteen months. Today the judge said the words. We cried in the hallway and a stranger handed us a tissue and didn't ask why. She is three. She has a small bag of things she came with that we have kept exactly the way it was on the day. We will tell her about her first …
