Over the
next several weeks, FrauenTimes is publishing a series of blog items
about 2014, a trying year.
Trying in 2014--Introduction
It was a
trying year for us.
My mom died,
Rowena got diagnosed with breast cancer and we ran into financial troubles. We
had car problems, worries about job security, and body aches I couldn’t seem to
shake.
People
around the world face much worse than our little San Francisco family did in
2014.
Still, this
year was one of the hardest I’ve ever faced. I wondered at times how I, how we
as a family, would hold it together.
The answer
was at once timeless and surprising. We did our best to stay on our feet,
people around us propped us up and faith fueled and fortified us.
Ultimately, we
not only avoided falling to pieces but came away more durable and more connected.
What often felt like a cursed year left us feeling blessed.
