Since first hearing this song a few weeks ago, I've been unable to shake some of the lyrics. Even though the song is not entirely applicable to our marriage, I was still affected by the message. When Jason and I exchanged vows, we were hopeful about our future together. Now, almost fifteen years later, we both have scars. Jason's physical scars tell a story of trach tubes, biopsies, feeding tubes, surgeries, and dialysis accesses. While my scars are less visible, the years have left their mark on me as well. During those early years after Jason's brain injury, I experienced loneliness and mourned the loss of the easy companionship we once shared. Time has graciously brought healing to each of us. Instead of grieving the losses in our marriage, we are learning to embrace the changes and appreciate the many gains.
"The only way we'll last forever, is broken together."
