Changes continue to our home.  I feel this adjustment may be the final piece.  Until the next one.

Multiple Sclerosis has made these changes and upgrades necessary.  Going up and down stairs is getting tough, and the new door is good.  Change can be good and positive.  Despite my opposition.

We are putting tile down in our office.  The office sits beside our bedroom, and we had the door inserted to avoid stairs from the majority of the house into our bedroom and bathroom  I was opposed to this change initally, but the new door has made life easier. 

I am a big boy.

I was wrong.

I initially fought the change and renovation.  The change has been good for me and my family.

I feel one should admit when they are wrong.  Being stubborn is good, but just because you believe something and fight for it does not make it right or wrong.

And I do not regret my actions.

Back to the latest events.

The office has lots of papers and boxes .  Any office would have these materials. We needed to clear out this stuff for the new flooring to be inserted.  Spring cleaning is occuring as Halloween approches.

We have most of my wife's high school yearbooks.  We have moved them every time, from house to house.  To my memory, they have never been opened. 

I had no interest in looking back or invesgigating the past.  High school was literally in the last century and what good does it give anyone to dredge up past events?  I have never investigated past relationships.  And I did not discuss mine.

Our daughter began going through the yearbooks and laughing.  The clothes and hair were the cause of much pointing and comments such as "The hair is so big it did not fit in the picture."

I was in the attached room reading and keeping my ears open.

Our daughter asked the natural question about past boyfriends.  The answers were what one would expect.  Nothing.  No details.  She is a child and every child feels the planet only appeared upon their birth.  But the questions persisted.

Finally my wife said, "They were boys.  I searched a long time and found the right man, your father."  For all the travels and trials life has offered, sometimes it is nice to know that your spouse feels good about the selection of her mate. 

In reality, this means nothing.  It was a "throw away" line. I was not the intended person to hear. 

It just makes me feel good to hear my wife speak clearly that she feel good about her choice.  Despite the Multiple Sclerosis and the problems, we are still us.  And I am very blessed.

Branch Ricky, the man who signed Jackie Robinson that broke baseball's color barrier, said "Luck is where opportunity meets busting your ass."  Based Mr Ricky's statements, I am lucky.  I do my best never to take life for granted.  And we have done so much and gone through such trials, but we are still together.  I believe that the fact we are still together is a miracle.

And I am blessed to be present to experience this miracle and these events.

Thank you for reading.

God bless all of us.

Power to the people.

Power to the cure.
