It Won't Always be This Hard

I just found out a friend of mine has breast cancer. Makes me realize (again) that I really don't have it all so bad...

My mom said to me the other day that it won't always be this hard...

I burst into tears because I really thought she was reminding me that it will get harder. We both laughed, because of course she was actually trying to make me feel better.

Then we laughed a bit more.. because my life will probably never be easier than it is today while Lucy is still small enough NOT to be driving, and Jake can still be carried (barely) to bed, and Descartes and I are both healthy and our credit is still good.
