66

In 66 days I have:
  • Kissed boo boos
  • Sang someone to sleep 132 times
  • Made 198 meals
  • Cried myself to sleep at least 15 different times
  • Prayed constantly
  • Gone to 4 doctors appointment for my baby girl and 2 for myself
  • Administered medication to my baby 968 times
  • Finished 2 quilts
  • Made 50 quilt blocks
  • Said good bye on the phone too many times
  • Played at the park
  • Gone to Kindergym and the Farmers Market
  • Played Games
  • Built with legos
  • Painted Pictures
  • Read books
  • Done puzzles
  • And So Much More...
Life goes on, I don't always want it to, but it does.  It is not the same though, it is different. Almost a shadow of how life is supposed to be, but on it goes.  Never stopping, we move forward, waiting, waiting for the day that we pick him up, the day he sleeps under our roof again, the day that instead of praying for his safety we are saying a prayer of Thanksgiving for his return.  Life goes on, like it has these past 66 days and will go one for many more days to come.
