Been a long long long week... A week ago Thursday night I heard out loud the words 'step mom' associated with my lovely Ann and it cut hard quick and deep. While this is true... absolutely true, neither her nor I nor my family to our ears has NEVER used this word, Never... again, it is true, but it is nothing we ever once think about because she is MOM or Grandma to us all... so it was really something that caught us off guard and as big a deal as that was, it would soon pale in comparison to what our family was to face... and it would hit us over the weekend and hit hard... an 'internal error' of untold portions... and it pounded us for days... and still is eating at us but we refuse to budge!
I am writing this as a means back to sanity. In doing this, I am trying to understand. I type and the letters and words are so empty, perhaps another day...
But in all this, the one amazing thing to me is ... the greatness and wonderfulness and completeness of OUR family! We have been hurt beyond belief, but within hours of learning, feeling, crying, etc. we bounced back and we bounced high far and wide! Everyone stepped up to help, to clean up the mess, and did so out of love... more later this is much much harder than I thought... but it is deeply needed!
love to all and thanks to everyone who has pitched in
Stan and Ann
