As of today, my parents are officially divorced.
I know that some really great things have happened this year (like getting pregnant with twins), but I still can't help but think that it's been a really shitty year. Pardon my language, but that's really the only word for it. Two of my grandparents died, my Grandma Sue was diagnosed with a terminal disease and is dying, my parents got divorced, my brother-in-law was deployed to Iraq last week, and to top it all off, I'm living 3,000 miles away from every single person I care about.
Please pray for my parents and for me. I really need to remember that God is sovereign and works all things for our good. I also need to remember that I have everything I need and that He has blessed me beyond what I deserve, which is often extremely hard to remember. It's so easy to see everything that's wrong with your life, and so hard to see all the blessings sometimes. Also, please pray that I will know how to be a support to both of my parents and all of my sisters at this difficult time. It's hard to know how I could best help and support everybody when I am so far away.

I'll be praying for you all.

You've summed up an awful lot in one post. I have tears right now for your pain caused by things beyond your control. (I praise God with you that there is absolutely nothing beyond His control!) I will pray that God will continue to comfort and strengthen you through all this. While almost all of the people you love are miles away, God has given you a very special, loving (and cute!) husband on the East Coast and many friends all over this country. Thank you for sharing your heart so that we can join you in prayer.

I hope it's okay that Shauna sent me this link, but I have had a hard time tracking you down with your new last name and all. I had asked to see pics of you all prego!! :) I started reading your post from today...I'm truly sorry to hear about your parents. I'm praying for your heart's comfort. I've been there. And I also know how it feels to be far away from what will always be home. Take comfort in the fact that you married your best friend, who is your future, try not to focus on the past. You have so much to look forward to. I do too, I will spend a good part of my afternoon catching up on you on this blog! You're going to be a great Mommy, Kim. Love ya,

Kim,
I am so sorry and will be thinking of you and your whole family. You will all be in our prayers. We are not far from you in Fredericksburg, VA and would love to see you.
Love, Clara Jung
