i didn't expect it to be this obvious
but it has happened

it took time and effort
it took patience and desire
it took phone call after phone call
it took understanding
it took tears
it took kindness
it took forgiveness
it took screaming
and......
it took love

love for ourselves
love for our son
love for one another

we are there now
i am thankful for that
i am thankful for you
i am so blessed
to be blessed
and most importantly to realize it
