Our journey or struggle Introduction

Well, I've been thinking about putting myself out there and sharing a more personal journey than just our daily antics. Some of our closest friends and immediate family are aware of our personal struggle, but not everyone is completely aware of the length and the emotion that has embraced us.

I am hoping to find therapy in sharing this journey. I have started numerous journals, especially when we encountered a hill we just couldn't climb and faced another loss. But as time passed, those jottings just didn't seem as important anymore or do justice for what I truly felt. However, I do believe when one writes it down it is very therapeutic, hence this blog's address. I don't anticipate this to be a very lengthy blog or one that I will visit much once I get you up to date, but I just want to put it down and share it with you. I know there are others, who have faced a harder struggle to absolutely no avail, but one's struggle is their own and it doesn't mean it doesn't have any value for that individual or couple.

Let me start by introducing the family. We are a family of five – Dad-Jay, Cassie-14 yr. old daughter, Zachary – 12 yr. old son, Mackenzie-9 yr. old daughter, and me Mom-Angie. For some, it looks like we have an ideal family with the kids spaced out not too close in age yet not too far apart, but I would like to use this space to talk about our struggle to become a family.
