"The longest trip ever taken is by a parent, leaving the hospital without their baby securely fastened in the backseat." ~ M. Watson
Well it's February. That means in just 25 days, it will have been 365 full days since I held Ava in my arms. Where has the time gone? This has truly been the shortest and longest, most agonizing yet life changing trip of my life. Our first year of "firsts" without our second daughter has almost come to a close, and I can't believe it! Sometimes I wish I could fast forward to one year from now and just take a peek in on my life. But I'm also scared to see what I will find! What other tragedies and heartbreak is in store for our family? I hope it will be nothing but good things from here on out! All I can say is that I am glad that we have made it through this first year alive. Because those first few days and weeks, I just wasn't sure how it was going to be possible to live again. But we are here, we are alive, we are healthy, and things are looking up! That's hopeful to me!! : )
What a hopeful message. I am looking forward to putting this year behind me also. I never want to forget my baby, but this year has been so tough. I don't think I would be where I am without you by my side through all of this. We have so much to look forward to ahead of us.
