sadness

french fries after getting her ears pierced

I was going to post tonight about Princess Newbie's big day today. We had great milestones today such as cutting off her baby mullet and piercing her ears. She got so mad at me for piercing her ears but that's another story for another day.

Tonight I learned sad news and it's just news that's hard to take.  I have a small group of people that have spoken into my life or changed my life in some way that I hold so extremely dear to my heart. Tonight I learned that two of these people are hurting badly and saying goodbye to a time in their lives. I'm not going to go into further details because they deserve privacy but this is something we had a feeling was going on but the confirmation tonight was painful to us. It hurts me and I'm sad.

One of these people shined light into my life during an extremely dark period and that person is now going through the same struggles. I am devestated for them. I know that hurt, I know that pain, and yet they have to walk through it after helping me out of it.

Smile, though your heart is aching,

Smile, even though it's breaking.

When there are clouds in the sky-

You'll get by.

If you smile through your pain and sorrow,

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll see the sun come shining through

For you.

Light up your face with gladness,

Hide every trace of sadness.

Although a tear may be ever so near,

That's the time you must keep on trying,

Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find that life is still worthwhile,

If you just smile.
