It has been the most heavy of privileges, walking a dear mother home... our hearts have cried, the peace in our family has trembled... and in the days and weeks since, our spirits have slowly found rest.
In between the many, many trips home to sit at her bedside, we have watched Satterwhite raise our Log Home back here in Texas... it was as if we were living 2 wildly divergent lives.
Standing vigil to the ending of a beautiful life, just as we were beginning to see our life in retirement falling into place...
And that sweet mother-in-law asked us every time we came up how the house was coming along {heart sigh}... Right up to the end, she wanted to know the details, loved looking at the pictures we brought.
She was happy for us. It was a gift... and this house has given us a bit of that joy back. In the midst of grief there is also hope. A nod to the good in our lives, the legacy we leave in the dreams we follow...
The Satterwhite Log Home crew arrived in October with huge truckloads of fragrant spruce logs and we watched in awe as our home came to life before our very eyes!
Picture Overload Ahead (!) Just because, well, because, it has been a dream for so long... we don't take this treasure for granted, not for a single minute!
We're halfway home... log cabin is up and weather-tight,
now the interior work begins!
Each project is a step in the journey...
and that journey is a grand adventure!
Praying your steps lead to a journey of joy,
to legacy living of the sweetest kind.
My Love,
Always,
Jane
