Busy But Thankful

Well...ok I know it's been a while AGAIN!  I have to get back into my routine of writing, I miss it and as I always say, sometimes my best friend is a a piece of paper and a pen (in this case it is my mac book but you get the point). 

Life has been busy, we are all work and just as focused as ever.  Some things are a waiting game and I can't control the vendors or people we work with so things don't move as fast as I would like.  However, if there is one thing that I have learn this past year it's to be patient.  Other than work everything is good, my family is healthy and we are blessed so I can't complain.  My niece is the greatest joy in my life, just when I thought I couldn't love her more I fall in love with her even more!  She is absolutely precious and brings us all so much happiness.  I am so thankful that we all live close together and are able to spend as much time as we want with one another.   I know that was something that we never had growing up and I love the fact that as an aunt I am close by.

I find that I am moving on from all that has happened the past few months. I feel as though the cloud is lifting.  As they say, time heals everything.  I see my father doing better and he is absorbed in his work. I can see how badly he wants things to work and he is doing everything in his power to make sure it does.  I know that Hamid is the source of his determination.  

It's funny, when you are experiencing a dramatic event in your life, you think that it's the worst for you and no one understands what you are going through.  And not that I didn't know this but it's becoming more evident the older I get, that everyone is going through something.  Every person I talk to has a story, something tragic or difficult they are going through.  I don't know if its the current times that things are bad for people, but everyone has a story and I don't feel so alone with all that I have been through.  In fact, I feel thankful that I am still so lucky!
