Then I was talking to a friend about it and realized our life is "normal" now. We are dealing only with the regular stress that normal people have. Before there was grief, anger, confusion, and frustration over school. Now there is normal life.
Sure there are still days I want to stay in bed and hide under the blankets but now I can get up anyways without someone pushing me. There are days life seems unfair and everything we've been through seems too much.
But there are also days spent smiling. Days when I'm eager to get up and get started. Days when life seems good.
The big trials are in the past for now, with life there is no certainty they will stay there but for now I can relax and focus on today. After all why worry about tomorrow?
