This morning I woke up to snow--just a light dusting and a light snow falling. I am feeling really blessed today. How wonderful is this life that we have! There are so many great and beautiful things in this world. We live in such an age where distance really doesn't matter, and despite being across continents, we can communicate with each other with the touch of a button.
I am so grateful for technology. I think of all we have gone through with Kai. Technology has allowed this special person to still be with us today. Technology has allowed me to communicate with you, and tell you of his story--of our story.
I am grateful to all of you who read this blog and who send out your love and support. There are more people who read this blog than I realize. I am constantly amazed as I talk to people and they tell me that they have been keeping up with the blog. Your love and support has been a source of strength for us.
Although the experience with Kai was never one we would have chosen, as we have come to accept it and watch our little boy grow, we have been struck by the tender mercies of God. As Kai approaches his year mark in a little over a month, I have been reflecting much on the last year. From the frantic first days of his life when we weren't even certain he would make it through the day, to the "blue" periods of November and December, to now--spinal surgery in less than a week, Kai has proven that he is a fighter and he is here for a reason. He has blessed our lives with his sweetness and love.
The road has been hard and we are not perfect, but we are learning. We have become stronger and better people for it. We are grateful for the daily gifts of life's little miracles.
