Ending times..

This week brings the end of school.  I am thankful that the kids had school to focus on during this journey.  It also gave Lynn time to recoup at home without them bugging him to "play". If there is any silver lining in all this the timing for school and his return to work is good.
He is still not able to do everything he used to do.  I did let him take a few trips around the yard with the mower.  It was like I'd given him the keys to a new mustang.  He also went up the ladder....these are exciting times people.
On Friday while I was running errands I had to stop twice for ambulances...and heard two more while I was out.  Seeing them and hearing them brings me anxiety.  It transports me right back to that morning and everything that has happened to him, me and us as a family.  The process for physical healing is big.  The process for mental and emotional healing is huge and will take longer...especially for me because I lived it, and the things I remember, Lynn doesn't.  Who am I kidding...Lynn not remembering is normal!  :)
He will continue to work half days at least for a few more days.  I can already see that work is creeping into his life again.  Last week he was answering an email after midnight.  Something about that needs to change....I think maybe that's a password.
We are doing normal things.  Kira continues to impress us with with her heart for others and her tenacity to never give up.  She is silly and she laughs...a lot...just like her Momma.  She seriously just told me she met Kelly Clarkson by running into her at the grocery store.  She is so funny.
She ran her first 5K a few weeks ago.  I thought I was going to cry because I was just so dang proud of her.  We were notified a few weeks ago from the princpal that she will be awarded this week at school with a citizenship award.  It's a big deal...a huge deal.
Evan continues to make great progress with his occupational therapy and I have said more than once that I am so grateful we started him in therapy for his SPD. Had we not gone forward with that going through this event would have been so much more difficult.  I knew how to approach the situation with him...and he has come through it with flying colors.  He just finished writing all his numbers to 1000....and he is beaming from ear to ear.  So proud of himself, and he tells me evey night how much he loves me and that I am the best Momma in the world FOR HIM.
All in all progress is moving forward.  Lynn is doing well.  I am doing well.  The kids are doing well.  As time moves forward our new normal is still filled with lots of life and tons of love.  Things are different, but we are strong.  In fact as I close this post we are all singing "Stand By Me".  I can think of no better song to define us over the last few weeks!
