seven.



7 years. 7 years of our almost 9 years of marriage have been lived in the crazy world of a brain injury. ben and i shouldn't be here with the injuries we both suffered but by the grace of God we are. i never liked the reminders of this day and it's emotions, the emotions are not as fresh but they're still there. ive been asked if it would have been easier if ben just died...and ill admit that there are times we've both wanted to walk out the door but id never wish my husband were dead...love keeps us together. i still feel robbed of the life i thought we'd have but at the same time look at all the blessings and healing God has done and given. God blessed me with a man who refuses to give up and given me the stubbornness (sometimes a downside) to fight on. we're grateful for my family and the friends whom have stuck with us and the new friends God has blessed us with who accept us for who we are. we still hope and pray for more healing in bens body but also accept that this is life and despite it all He is good even when we don't see it all the time or think it's the good we want...
 play this song on repeat at times because its soooo good...
