One Door Closes Another One Opens

I wanted to first thank all my dear friends and family that have helped pull my family through this challenging chapter in our lives. Sorry I havnt updated sooner, it has been one wild and crazy weekend. I tell you what.... the Lawson's never have a dull moment and always finish loud and proud at the end of each trial. This was no exception, Ill have you know. Im so thankful for our eternal marriage that is rock solid, raw, and uniquely crafted to weather all storms that come our way. As we close yet another Chapter in our wonderful book of life, we will hold dear to us all the amazing spiritual blessings we received along the way. We call those our rainbows...beautiful, peaceful, and unforgettable and worth all the rain that brought them here. Here's my long awaited update. thanks again for all your love and support.
This is what I discovered after my tear filled talk with my doctor. Doc told me I had no other option then to have the D&C after 3 long weeks of trying to heal myself....I felt as though I failed. As I gathered my thoughts and wiped my tears I walked out of my room and noticed my two young boys decided to demolish the toy room. Yep every toy you can imagine was dumped out of their bins and piled in the middle of the floor.(Not good for my OCD habits.) They had such pride in their smiles. I thought to myself. Here we go this chapter is gonna have one grand finale I can tell already.
Here I await for surgery in my sexy paper crunchy gown. Yeah not a fan. I went in with a smile and walked out with a smile. I love having the gospel in my life and a wonderful husband that helps keep me focused spiritually and find peace in all things.
I came home after surgery...took a good nap and woke up to this poor little sick kiddo. To top it off my oldest son Tyler had come down with the same flu. I instantly flew into high gear and jumped into Mommy Mode. Half drugged and still loopy I couldnt sit and watch my babies suffer. I cuddled, soothed, and nurtured two sick kids all night long. I got about 2 hours of sleep. Perry wanted to help and tried his best but the sickie's only wanted their MaMa. I made myself wipe my brow and get back in the game. No down time for this Post Surgery MaMa. Though it was challenging this was a simple rainbow given to me to keep my mind focused on my family and too busy to wonder. A true blessing in disguise.
After a long morning at Med-Direct shoveling out money left and right to heal our poor sickie's, Perry thought it would be best to try and bring home Max to help lift my spirits. I pondered the thought for a day and found myself very scared and nervous to just instantly move forward in life. I didnt know how to place my feelings. I knew Perry wanted the best for me and I do know the power of love and comfort that lies in a dogs heart. I went with the plan even though a little hesitant. Why not add one more crazy thing to our weekend. Not like we didnt have enough on our plate. But thats just how we Lawsons are. We're fighters and we fight for happiness in all things. And that was my hope in bringing max home. Was happiness.
And Max delivered just that. Though we may be sicker then dogs, broke as a joke, emotionally and physically drained, there is LOVE at home. And thats what makes everything else seem so minuet.
With all hesitation in bringing Max home, it was the thought of this sweet lovable dog finding his way to my lap after a long draining day to curl up and fill my soul with peace, comfort, joy and LOVE. And he did just that! I will always have a special place in my heart for the past Chapter we endured together as a family, and with max now in lives I am truly looking forward with the blessings that will follow in this new chapter to come.

When One Door Closes, Another One Opens.

Isn't life Beautiful...isn't it Grand!
