As we approach 1 year

I know I haven't posted a lot lately...and I know I meant to.  It's been hard.  This past week...everything about it is a reminder.  We're hitting 1 year of everything.  1 year ago Monday I was in the hospital the first time. 1 year ago tomorrow (Friday), I was admitted to the hospital with a strong likelihood of delivery.  And 1 year ago Tuesday, my world was turned upside down.

There are just some days

There are just some days where I just want to come home and cry.  Today was one of those days.  It was a happy day...but it was also a really difficult day for me.  I struggled a lot.  Today wasn't about me.  It was about celebrating with family and friends.  And about being utterly and crazily happy for a woman in my life who has been one of my greatest supporters over the past nearly 10 years, but most especially the past year.  Shared experiences do that for you, no matter how long ago that shared experience happened.
