Happy Birthday to Me...

Today is my birthday. Before having Daniel I had always thought that all of my education would have launched me into a great career. But instead, I was launched on a different journey...one of self-less compassion and unconditional love. Caring for Daniel is a crazy road....and the world certainly continues to take from your resources 10 fold. I don't know why... 


I need to survive, my son is so fragile, and my children deserve to be secure.   Sarah and Thomas are so amazing too.

Today, July 27, is my birthday and my gift to myself this morning was a snuggle with Daniel. Realizing that in those morning moments he needs me for not only for physical needs, but also for love.

Perhaps today will be a day full of miracles...a day where the pressure comes off... but birthday or not I still have doctors to call, and medicines to order and pick up, diapers to change, and tons of laundry to do.

This morning Daniel was happy one minute, and retching/vomitting the next. And all I can say is... keep trying....keep trying...keep trying....


I am going to enjoy some cake and take a few minutes to reflect on my life...  and how far we have come.   So much to be grateful for.  

Happy Birthday to me.  Cheers!!!!
