Today.

me, moms, breez
It is a good day. There are several reasons I am reflecting today...
1. Chloe came home from the NICU 3 years ago today. Wowza. Where has the time gone? She started preschool yesterday for the first.time.ever. Which I must say, is MUCH harder on mom than it is on her.
2. I am a very lucky wife.
3. I saw the most AMAZING video today. Just by chance, or not, but it brought me to tears and made me realize that I am a lucky mother. What a wonderful thing. To think it has been 6111 days since the last time I saw you. But whose counting.
4. My dear friend/cousin is currently waiting AS I WRITE to find out if she will be bringing her sweet baby home. She is trying to adopt a baby girl out of state. And the birthmother is making her decision. NOW. 48 hours has never taken so long to pass. (that might be a lie. )
Being on this end of that decision is so stressful (poor Nie!) I should know better than to think that it is an easy situation/decision for the birth mother. There she is, in a hospital, with empty arms.
And there sits our Nienie, holding a baby. Tears come for both.

I just LOVE you! But I might have to stop reading your blog, I cry. Pain and happiness for all you said.
