Just a quick post in memory of Emery Kate- It has been one year today since that fateful doctor's visit. It's amazing how just 22 weeks of a short life can impact someone's life. This time last year we were faced with such uncertainty about the future. Now we can look back and see what a little miracle Adalyn is. When I think of that day I am also reminded of how petty some of the things we let bother us. The day before we lost her, the engine on my SUV blew up. The morning of my appointment the kitchen sinks were backing up. Driving to my appointment that day I was so stressed about having to pay for a new SUV and a plumber to come out. In hindsight, neither of these things were important. These things always work themselves out in one way or another.
I often wonder what could have been- when Adalyn reaches a certain milestone I wonder what it would have been like for her sister to share in that moment with her. There is no dwelling on the past, however. Life must move on. While I think there will always be a piece of the puzzle missing it will be fun to watch Adalyn grow. Maybe one day she will get the chance be a big sister.
In closing, I have 2 points to ponder.
1. Don't sweat the small stuff
2. Enjoy every moment with those you love
That's all for now
