Direction

Where do you go when you don't know where to turn for answers? What do you hold onto when you don't exactly know what to hold onto? When your child is having medical issues...or behavioral issues...or mental health issues and you've done all that you know how to do...what then?

I pray and turn it over to God.
I cry.
I share with my good friends who understand.
I write.
I hold onto hope.
I wait.
Sometimes I put my grandfather's compass in my pocket.

My grandfather was a tough, old Norwegian. He hunted and fished. He loved the outdoors. He even saved a couple of lives when people were lost in the woods or drowning in a river. He was an amazing man. Larger than life. When he passed away I discovered his compass which he must have worn on his wrist when he went off into the woods. The compass is worn and looks like it has had a lot of use. I imagine it provided my grandfather with quite a bit of direction when he was unsure of where he should go.

Sometimes I put it in my pocket. Hoping for direction.

Looky Daddy's daughter is having seizures and they could use some good luck and positive thoughts.
