Hello Pain, Come Run with Me

It has been quite the year.  I've started several posts and have really been unable to put into words all the challenges we've been facing this year.
I've gone back to running (hello old friend) and today I was thinking while huffing and puffing that it is good to be alive.  Even if that means feeling pain, stress, sadness...I am alive.  I was thanking God that my sister is still alive.  Alive to go through cancer, but still alive. 

 We still had summer fun.  LOTS of slumber parties with the cousins.
 Camping with our Aunts and Uncles.

 Charlotte asks when Jonah is gone: Where Daddy?
Me:  At work.
Charlotte:  I wanna go fishing!!!
I am choosing to not ignore or comfort my pain away.   I'm very blessed that we get to have life in the midst of all this.
