We
are heading down to the second Angelversary of Joshua’s death. Just
writing that brings tears to my eyes. Two years ago today we were
attending soccer games, school activities, and threatening three kids
who were always tormenting one another...a gloriously normal life.
Two years and one week from now, I was sitting in a hospital room listening to the surgeon talk about cancer surgery with my dear friend who had gone to the ER with stomach pains the day before. She has persevered through numerous treatments, surgeries, side effects and two years later, not only continues her valiant fight against stage 4 Colon cancer but remains a dear supportive friend. She is my hero!
Two years and two weeks from now, life came crashing down around us as we faced life without Josh. The first year was stuck between disbelief, shock and utter despair at the same time….alot of the year escapes my memory. The second year has been just as painful, but with a twist of introspective healing. The one word that keeps coming to mind is Perseverance.
Perseverance: A steady will to complete a task in spite of any obstacles before you.
Perseverance is inspirational. Hearing about those who have gone through the valley of the shadow of death and come out on the other side gives me hope. I have been truly lifted up by others going through “life”.
In two weeks our friends and family will walk the Joshua Newman Memorial 5K Walk/Run for Epilepsy and SUDEP awareness. Perseverance will hopefully show up again as we walk with over 130 people, give hugs, and remember my sweet ornery son.
Hugs,
Sherri
