Focusing on us

It was a rather rough weekend in our house.  For privacy, I will not divulge much info, but I will state that we would appreciate any good thoughts and prayers that could be sent our way.  There was a lot of stress and a lot of sadness, but there were good moments as well.  Saturday evening, Robert wasn't home, and the four of us that were really took the time to focus on us.  I hate the circumstances that brought us to that point, but I am grateful that we rallied around each other, and really just tried to enjoy the four of us being together.  In fact, we even had a family slumber party, and all four of us slept in the family room together.  That may sound odd, but Andrew and I both mentioned it actually brought us a great deal of comfort to wake during the night and see us all together.  Even Abby the dog joined us!  We spent yesterday morning just being together and focusing again on each other, before we needed to start dealing with the realities of the world again.  Before anyone panics and worries too greatly, I think for the most part, things will be okay.  I'll always be grateful for my family, and for our time spent together!
