In the last couple of weeks I’ve continuously found myself comparing “today” (i.e. whatever day it was) to a year ago. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing to do or not because the situations are so completely different but it’s a habit I just can’t break.
It amazes me how far I’ve come in a year. A year ago we were delicately navigating our way through recovery — facing encounters such as H1N1 — and watching my progress day to day for signs of improvement. Today we are hurdling towards the arrival of a new baby and the start of yet another new chapter in our lives.

In medical speak, the doctors say my skull is too small for my brain. I like to turn it to my advantage and say my brain is too big for my head. Either way, maybe it will help to spill stuff here.
Both are wonderful changes in their own way. They both create a new and different kind of life. I am just proud of the path you have walked and the dignity with which you have walked it. I know how hard it has been on you. ((HUGS))
I’ve been comparing a lot, myself. A year ago today _______. Isn’t it amazing? What a difference a year makes, indeed. So glad that we are both where we are at now, rather than in a hospital bed. Cheers!
Funny, I am doing the same thing lately too. It’s hard to believe that was all a year ago now! So much better to look back on it than to go through it.
Oops, forgot to sign my name!
Can’t believe it’s been a year since we got that amazing visit with you, to see how you live, where you live, your beautiful surroundings. <3 u!!!
I think it’s always easier to look back at the journey you have taken than to look at the now and wonder what’s going to happen. I’m so happy things have gone so well for you and to have a new little one on the way is just the icing on the cake. Imagine what you will say next year
So incredible and so happy for you! Congrats on the impending arrival!
