{Rainbows…I saw the End!! For Real!!}

The other day Michael and I were on our way to OHSU for a doctor appointment. It was overcast but breaks of sunshine were coming through. I experienced something for the first time in my life…

I was at the END of the rainbow……FOR REAL!!

I have to say, it was kind of an emotional experience for me. I was in awe as I could see where the rainbow met with the earth right in front of me. The sudden feeling of being thankful was almost too much to bear as I had to hold back my tears{so we didn’t get in an accident}.
It was like how people describe dying, all of your life flashes before your eyes and suddenly you are thinking about all the people in your life that are important to you. The people you love.

As a child I always wondered what is really at the end of the rainbow. I am proud to announce it is better than the anticipated pot of gold.

Before I had Michael if you asked me what would make me happy to find at the end of the rainbow I would have given you a list of materialistic items, money and all of it would be selfish.
Now I find myself content as I finally reached the end of the rainbow and I have more than I ever dreamed of having in this life. I have many people in my life that I love, cherish and am so thankful for.

My son, Michael is one of those people.

Michael my sweetest boy, you were worth the wait to see what was at the end of the rainbow. You have changed me forever, you have opened my eyes to what is truly important in this life and I am a better person because of you.
