Woke up feeling extra grateful today....a year ago today I was facing a craniotomy, with no expectations & truly no real idea how I'd come out of it mentally, physically nor emotionally....
Life has a crazy way of showing us how strong we can be without even knowing it. I spent this day last year with my eyes closed leading up to & obviously during surgery, feeling slightly defeated yet knowing I had so much to live for. I remember my husband, sister, dad, mom, & brother’s all got their chance to see me & baby before we were wheeled in....I don't think I said much to any one of them 😩
Fortunately, for me, the procedure felt like 2 minutes (one minute probably around 9a I was being told to take some deep breaths, the next I was being woken up around 8:30p. Unfortunately, for the rest of my family-they spent hours at a time on pins & needles waiting to hear updates.
Fast forward to today, my “honorary birthday” 😉….I couldn’t be more thankful for the life I was -given back- this past year & all the years to come. We are counting….& then recounting all of our blessings & spending the day as a family of 4!
Much love to you & yours!!
