Setbacks...

Last night, just before bed, we had a bit of a setback. It wasn't huge or anything, just the loss of a potential resource, but the impact that it had was a stark reminder of how difficult this process has been, and continues to be. We are working diligently to build a future, and succeeding well. The road is very hard, though, at times, painful and frequently exhausting. I'm doing my best to offer support in every way that I can, but I also know that much of it is outside my control, which is hard, too. I'd do most anything to make easier something that can't ever really be easy.

I thought this might be a good time to remind you, then, that I'm in this for the long haul. As you once told me, you are my future. I will never give up on you, nor us. No matter how difficult some outside elements may make this journey, I'm on it with you for as long as you'll have me. We will figure it out, tillsammans, alltid.

I know it's difficult. I can't even imagine what it must be like for you. But no matter the setbacks or difficulty, my love for you is certain. My will won't falter. I've got your back, come what may. Swedish promise. I love you, my sweet girl, so very much.
