12 hours

The house is ready.
Welcome home gifts have been placed on each of their beds.
Refrigerator is stocked with their favorites (yep, turkey pepperonis!)
Dinner for tomorrow night is planned.
12 hours from now I will have the girls back home.
Our time apart was very much needed and like I wrote a few nights ago, I could actually use a few more days without them home.
I learned a lot about myself over these past few weeks. At Canyon Ranch I pushed my physical and spiritual limits. I took risks by walking gently into uncomfortable situations; sometimes those moments paid off and other times I felt more vulnerable. I learned that I like me, even with my life resume and baggage I carry around. The more honest I am, I stronger I feel. My life will never be normal, never go back to normal. 
It is now different, and changed, but never normal.
Our home is ready for whatever and however our individual lives will fill it over the summer and beyond.
