Memories and being Thankful

Tonight I had a flashback to right after Emma was born. I was discharged from the hospital. I was driving 2-3 hours a day to be with her in the NICU for feeding. Meetings with doctors.

Then I remembered how Dan and I would leave the hospital every night talking about her daily trials and I would cry. I would cry in the car on the way to the hospital. I cried when I held her, when I fed her, and all the way back to the car as we were leaving her.

It's weird to remember all those fears now when I have a beautiful, thriving 19 month old who wears punch bowls on her head and laughs with me.


I don't want to forget those moments, even if they were sad because they make me so very thankful for what I have and for all my many blessings. So I am writing (typing) it down.
