I was driving home from town last night, along our country road.
My eyes were fixed on the centre, unbroken lines that curve and straighten, guiding me home.
I thought about how my life is mirrored in these unbroken lines. Sometimes, they are straight, life is good and everything has a cherry on top.
Don't we all want it to be this way?
When the lines curve, my life seems off centre, something happens or takes over and all I want is for the lines to become straight again.
To be back on track.
To be able to breathe.
Right now, there is a huge curve in The Road, one that is overwhelming and emotional and I really don't know when and how the lines will straighten.
When your child is unwell, when there are many unanswered questions, your mind wanders and the fear of the unknown takes over.
I'll bring you the story, when I can. When I'm ready to share and release the built up anxiety and sadness and confusion that I feel.
Until then I'll watch the lines on The Road, and hope that they straighten and safely take us home.

Thinking of you Michelle and I hope you get easy answers for your boy.

Thinking of you and sending my love. Be kind to yourself xxx
Thinking of you x
I hope that your road straightens out, soon. All the best for you and your family.
I hope they are answers coming.
Sending you love xxx
One foot in front of each other. That's all you can do. xx
I always hated it when my boys were ill - I felt as though somehow I had failed - like I was supposed to protect them from illnesses. All the big bumps and bruises, the stitches and fevers, all just served to make me feel less than a good father. I don't know what your son's illness might be - I hope it's nothing too serious, long term, or life threatening - but no matter what, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your son.
Well you guys have me teary again x
Thank you for your kind words, my son was crying last week at hospital and I felt like my heart was being ripped out....
I will share, of course, but I just can't, not yet xoxoxo
I've been noticing all the visits to Brissie on your Facebook. I'm hoping only good things for you and family. xxx
Oh Michelle.
My heart hurts for you.
There's nothing harder for a Mum. Nothing.

SO much love to you right now Michelle. xxx
Thank you girls, it's certainly putting EVERYTHING into perspective xo
Oh gosh, I am so sorry to read these words... as beautifully put together as they are.
Sending you positivity and hugs xo
It sounds like you are going through a really tough time right now. I'm praying for smooth, straight roads ahead!
Wishing you kilometers of straight lines.
My thoughts are with you and your family!
Be oh so careful on the road and don't go over the lines...the lines guide and lead you...keep strong and as positive as you muster. Spill everything when you are ready.

Hon, stay strong. It's a hard road with blurry lines, but we'll be there to hold your hand. xx
A beautiful post, Michelle. Just stay within those lines and they will straighten out soon enough xx
Here's to more straight lines coming your way. Sorry to hear you are struggling.
Carolyn
Crossing my fingers that everything works out well.
Thank you, my most treasured friends xoxo
I love that analogy but not that you are wrestling with dread and fear. Much love to you Michelle.. You are one very special mum and lady xxx
Thank you Denyse xo
What a sad and confusing time it must be for you all at the moment, sending best wishes.
I am sorry to hear that you have this hanging over your head. Having a sick child is one of the most stressful things about parenting, even worse if it is not clear what the issue is. While I hate that you are going through this, as Denyse said, what a great analogy you use in this post. Wishing you lost of straight lines really soon. Hugs from Perth xxx
Thank you so much xo
Be strong. This too shall pass.
