And so this week’s moment of happiness despite the news.

Nine weeks and one day ago, my husband left home for his job, expecting an ordinary day.

Tomorrow, nine weeks and two days ago, Michael will come home.

I am elated…and terrified. I don’t know that I’m capable of helping him through this final path to his recovery.

But I’m sure as hell going to try.

Because of this, I’m keeping the Moment short today. I have about a million things to do to prepare for his homecoming. And on top of it all, we are under a winter storm advisory and we’re expecting about eight inches of snow tomorrow.

Of course we are.

So. This week’s moment of happiness despite the news is simply this: Michael is coming home.

This Moment has been nine weeks and two days in the making. That’s enough.

And yes, that helps. Despite. Anyway.
