Yesterday my friend gave birth to a sweet baby boy.
Yesterday my cousin lost her husband of less than two years.
Yesterday I made Amelia giggle so hard she got the hiccups, sang to her in the car while we drove to and from Target, and rocked and nursed her while she took a much-needed nap. I built a blanket fort and made chocolate chip cookies with red and pink M&Ms in them. I snuggled and laughed with David while we hung out in that fort, eating those cookies and playing Lego Indiana Jones on the Wii.
Today I’m grateful. Because if my life were to change dramatically right now, I would know that instead of being grumpy or unkind or too tired to do anything fun, that yesterday I was making happy memories with my two favorite people.
Today is Wednesday, February 15th. It’s not a holiday or an anniversary or any kind of special occasion. Doesn’t matter. I still plan to laugh and play and snuggle just as much as yesterday, because I want to make sure that today I love these two enough for whatever changes tomorrow might bring.
I couldn't have said it better. Just wiping a few tears away today. And maybe tomorrow too.
wow. you are so good with words. love you all.
Mom: And every time I think about it for who knows how long.
Kim: Love you too.
