Well Brody is going to graduate high school Friday and will be 18 June 21st! I am too young for this, but yet inside I feel older than my years! Most mom's when this day comes and their son spreads his wings and moves on into manhood feel the empty nest syndrome, I don't. Since Brody has been with his Kook and Papa, I already came to terms with losing him, and I have him here in life, unlike Dalton. I suffered a double whammy in Brody not coming with me, and losing Dalton, so this graduation and Brody turning 18, well I feel blessed, cause I could lost him to cancer 16 yrs ago, and wow he is graduating high school and turning 18!!! Holy Moly, I am way to young for all that!!
Well Dean is making progress, he is using more and more facial expressions, he is using his left hand, helping people help him more and more. My sister Mary was up with Dean this weekend and she had country music on and when she looked at Dean she noticed he was movinghis lips, as if singing the song, but no noise, BUT it is a beginning!! I keep saying what the therapist said, he is figuring out new paths and gaining some abilities back! He has such a long road ahead of him, but we know he comprehends certain things, we just have to wait & see if he has lost a lot. We did find out he lost 73% of his cerebellum, and that is the part of your brain that controls balance and corridination. I love him so much for having the strength to work so hard for these little accomplishments.
Well, I have another anniversary for Dalton coming up, and I am already thinking about facing it...I don't know, I just see unjust in losing him, I have still to come to the thought that there was a purpose. After 2 yrs I would have hoped to have had the purpose of losing Dlaton laying at my feet, so obvious I couldn't help but slap  my forehead and say "Thats it" and it all be so much easier. Isn't that a fantasy? I do what I can and live each day, thats all I can do...
I hope everyone has a great week!!
