Life gets better

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty World Wichita

I've had a rough winter

Who am I kidding.  We (wife and myself) have had a very bad 3 years.  Brother in law has been very ill, and died in April.  Wife has had back surgery, and nerve pain for well over a year.  House problems, housing market problems, lawyer issues.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?  It really all gets better.  Wife had a nerve stimulator installed last week.  We worked out a Mortgage plan, and the housing market is starting to return.

Life does get better.  Kids are doing good, and while I look at this stuff being the bad stuff, there is good stuff too.

My eldest just started Medical school.  My second got married in the spring, and is finishing her masters.  My 3rd daughter got married last fall, and is moving into a home she custome built shortly (got her Real Estate license last month too).  My youngest daughter started college last week, has a job, and is paying for a new car on her own.  And my youngest son is in the IB program.

When we think of the bad stuff, good stuff is worth remembering too...

Great point.  I think you should be commended on how you raised your children.  They all seem to be intelligent, hard working, honest, respectful members of society.  I'm glad to hear you wife is well and everything is going up.  I always look at life like a roller coaster ups and downs.  When your down there is only one way to go, up!.  Keep up the positive attitude. I'm sure am trying.

Thank you for that message. I needed to hear it. We should never let the negative things keep us from being thankful for all of the great things in life. My best to your wife.
