I haven’t been keeping up on things at 2ps, but when you say “open wound” I think I know what you’re talking about. I hope I’m wrong, but if not, just know that my thoughts are with you as you’re struggling through.
It makes us stronger, right?

Beautifully said this morning. Your words reminded me of echoes of past days in my life. Infertility for seven years – 10 babies in heaven due to early miscarriages – memories of 3 months in a NICU with my former 25 weeker….hard stuff of life. And yes…the days when I look at my three kids with eyes wide open I realize that I too, have gotten numb to perfection. I am a JSO photographer and last night my husband buzzed all the hair off my five year olds head. I was so mad at him because (first) as a photographer, he just messed with one of my precious models for the next two months at least , and second…I could see the scars left in Ty’s head from all the IV’s. It’s been haunting me to look at. Your post reminded me though that I should see those battle scars as the greatest blessings because my son survived. Hold on to the grace of today. The blessings are many. (PS – your blog has been on my feed reader for a long time.

Your words are SO true… I sometimes feel like bad things HAVE to happen every once in a while to remind us that this is REAL and that things aren’t ALWAYS perfect, ya know? Been thinking of you a LOT today sweetie. xoxo
