Shattered – Scattered
The force is strong in you Luke – I feel that is what my aunt and uncles and others keep telling me. You’re strong. Well this year is aging me more than Katrina, more than my divorce, more than a lot of other things because my mother is dying, I’m trying to adopt a child, my work is all consuming and I can’t seem to stop the world for one moment and take a breath.
I am grateful every day that I look out at the bayou, I’m happy that I am healthy, and I’m grateful for all the support I have around me from T to all of my friends and family.
But anyone tell you that their parent is dying, you better believe there is a deep well of sadness inside of them. Anyone tell you that it is frightening trying to have/adopt a child, you better believe there is fear and excitement that alternate so rapidly you can’t distinguish one from the other.
I’m blessed to have this one moment to say thanks for all the good things BUT can’t we just take a breath here, for one moment?
