The equation of life
I'm sitting back thinking about the changes in our lives and how everyone plays a part in our lives. How I don't remember a time without Faith. Bud said while in conversation with a friend about being a new father, "80% of your life it getting ready to turn to crap. 10% of your life is getting ready to get better, but the 10% that gets better is more than going to make up for the 80% that turns to crap." I guess Faith is the 10% that makes all things better. Something so small and precious makes everyone's life better and happier. She not only makes our lives happier she makes everyone's lives around us happier. How does she do it? Is it because she is just so innocent and knows every day is a new day. I wish I could take some of her enthusiasm for life and spread it. I never would have imagined myself where I am five years ago when I was starting at the doctor's office. I knew we would never stay in the midwest but sometimes I miss the simple life. I love it here. But I love it where home is also. Maybe as life moves on we will come back or maybe life and home will come to us. Faith has a way with doing that with her family. They can't stay away. So the equation of life would be family + love = happiness. It doesn't matter what curveballs get thrown our way.

You are learning! We kind of had to go through this when we moved here as well. We had no network whatsoever, but we have built up a nexus of trusted and loved people here, year -by-year. Now, we are quite happy! You will get there, because you have a strong (nuclear) family!
Hugs,
Forte
