You live life following the path that is set out in front of you, believing you know roughly where it is taking you.
But somehow, the path you thought you were following has changed.
This morning we should have woken up with an excited house. Singing Happy Birthday, presents to unwrap, candles to blow out, giggles and celebrations.
Somehow though, the path we are now on looks different.
We woke up to a sad, quiet feeling. A glance at each other that says we will be ok. More words we don’t have, trying to explain to the boys. The heavy thoughts of how different life should be with George here.
And people talk about finding your way through it. About eventually reaching a different path, one that feels lighter, happier, easier.
But I wonder what happens then.
How do you trust the path again when you know how quickly it can change? How do you stop looking ahead, wondering what might be waiting around the next corner?
Maybe you can’t.
Maybe you just have to keep walking, and finding your way as you go.
Happy Birthday beautiful boy 🎈
