| my parents & grandparents including Lucy's namesake (blue dress) whom I miss so completely as I look at this picture because she would have loved my girls so much |
When I think of all the things that have happened since that
beautiful day, sometimes I wonder how we fit it all in and stayed sane - buying
a house, two pregnancies, two c-sections, a surprise DS diagnosis, a NICU stay,
a congenital heart defect diagnosis, apnea monitors, medications, open heart
surgery, many house projects, finding daycare, lots of trips to immediate cares
& even a couple ER visits, starting kindergarten, chasing toddlers and now big
girls. It is exhausting to even write but each step has challenged us and drawn
us closer together. When someone said "What doesn't kill you makes you
stronger", they must have been thinking about evolving as parents. Even as the
difficult things like handing over your 4 month old baby to a nurse to taking
her to open heart surgery make you stronger, the littlest happy moments do as
well - walking into see a daddy sleeping with his infant daughter on his chest or dancing with both of his little girls to the music on the TV and sharing a secret smile when one of the girls says something only we would realize how smart it is of her. I know how
lucky I am to have found the one person who balances my erratic moments, makes
me dance and laugh, soothes my soul when its aching, loves his girls (all of
us) with his whole heart, and protects all of us.
Happy Anniversary to the best husband for me & father
for Cate & Lucy imaginable.
all my love, always
