9 months.....It's been 9 months since Autumn was diagnosed Type 1. (Not the 9 months you were thinking, probably.) The other night Mark and I truly "talked about things" again. It's funny, you become so involved in your own lives that you just kind of "skirt" certain issues. Now, we talk about diabetes often....just not how we feel about it. And the other night we talked.....it was nice. We are at the stage now where Autumn looks great, feels great, and acts like her "old self" again. So, there isn't a "need" to dwell on our feelings, but we still have them.
This weekend meant so much to me. I watched Autumn play like she couldn't play last summer. I watched her and Allie in the backyard for hours...jumping on the trampoline, playing frisbee, laughing like there are no cares in the world. They were doing EXACTLY what they SHOULD be doing....and in turn, Mark and I laughed and smiled and played with them, feeling like we had no cares in the world.
It sounds silly and selfish...but my birthday was right after we got home from the hospital and Thanksgiving and Christmas were a blur....Easter was nice....but this holiday, Mother's Day....it was a perfect day for me.
I am blessed and my heart is happy.......today was a perfect day in my mind.
I hope your day was a fabulous one too. :)
