The Fairytale


When Tom and I were engaged, I imagined our children.
Our future.


I didn't imagine Bradley's challenges though.
And for awhile I've been sad and felt like the fairytale had ended.


 
But this morning it dawned on me:

THE FAIRYTALE HAS NOT ENDED!

EVERY Fairytale has it CHALLENGES.

Sometimes it's a dragon, or a witch, or a villain.




The happily-ever-after isn't until AFTER the challenge is overcome.

You cannot have a fairytale if there is nothing to triumph over.

It has NOT ended!

I'm currently slaying the dragon.

AND I'M STILL GOING TO HAVE MY HAPPILY-EVER-AFTER!
