Lifesavers for Latasha

Today, Tasha and I went out for a date night at one of Tasha’s favorite restaurants, Melting Pot. It felt like a monumental shift in progress since she had a slight setback with medication side effects.

Ever so slowly, it feels like life is shifting toward a new normal with less angst. Yesterday, Tasha ventured out by herself to get her lab work done and grab breakfast. Although I was a nervous wreck, my pride in her driving and gaining back a large part of her independence was tremendous.

Each day brings new small victories that slowly stack up to big wins. Tasha is starting to feel her strength and see her new future. Most importantly, she is finding joy and happiness, and we are healing as teammates, friends, and husband and wife.

The healing process takes time, but the process of regaining physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual balance is well underway.

We’ve discussed many future-related items that bring much balance to our world. We are thinking heavily about our letter to the donor family and all the emotions that go with that on both sides. I’ve tried to write what I want to say, but I’m still dealing with a lot from the past six months. I’ve also thought about whether I’ll post the letter for everyone to read, but I’m unsure yet.

So cheers to more small victories and great days ahead. Cheers to new adventures and memories. Cheers to our relationship, fortifying with love for many years of trials and tribulations we will face together as a team.
