In the span of just two weeks, our entire world shifted. What started as hopeful plans to buy over five acres of land unraveled into a series of events that turned everything upside down. Instead of wide-open dreams and room to grow, we found ourselves suddenly rooted in a small town on a .33-acre lot 🌿
In the middle of all of this, my mom passed away 💔, and we were swept into a whirlwind of grief, responsibilities, and decisions that we’re still trying to sort through. There is so much left to handle, and much of it will take time. Even so, I believe there is still a small light somewhere in this darkness, even if I can only see it one moment at a time ✨
We’ve also been sick for over three weeks now, and it’s been exhausting in every way. My body hurt. My heart hurt. Everything felt heavy 😔 But it finally feels like we may be reaching the peak and slowly starting to feel better, and that alone feels like a tiny victory 🤍
We’re still holding onto pieces of the life and plans we were building. They may look different now, and we may not be able to do everything we dreamed of, but we’re still moving forward — adjusting, healing, and taking things one breath, one step, and one day at a time 🌱
