Now that Mat is home once again we are starting all over. He is recovering well, it will be a long road but it is nothing that we cannot do together. His life will be much different than what we thought it would be. Some things are great others we have work to do. Learning to be a caretaker is something new to me. I am grateful for the nurse friends that I have. They have been amazing. Helping with medications and how to give them. How to make sure he gets up every once in a while and moves. We have had some good talks but I am sure that there are more a head for us. He is covered head to toes in bruises, those are getting better but slowly. This will be a by the day kind of thing. I am so thankful to our friends and family that have done nothing but lift us up in prayer and love and have supported us through all of this.
Living with someone who is a miracle is mind blowing. I have a hard time not staring at him. I mean he was attractive to me before but now? It’s like now the world can see him the way I have always seen him. He is someone special, someone that God has chosen and for whatever reason, God has blessed me to be with him. Will there be hard days in front of us? Yes, but we can get through them together. It still blows my mind on his recovery, he may never get to be 100% physically and mentally himself, but his soul is still the same. He still tells me that he loves me more than anything. Which is exactly how I feel too. We will take this one day at a time and soon life will get back to something that feels normal. Though anymore normal just seems not on my plate. I wouldn’t mind a different life than the normal. At least all I know is that this life will always be in motion, an ever changing thing. We may have had to start at the bottom again, but at least we know how to climb, and each time we have to start over or change the path, I know that I only grow in strength.
