A year ago today was probably the most terrifying day I've ever had as a parent. I don't know that I will EVER forget how that all felt. I also recognize that we are incredibly blessed in that, for the most part, things turned out absolutely fine. That youngest kid of mine though...wow he can scare me!
There have been many days this school year where I feel like I've kind of "held my breath" until he got home from school. He's had a rough cold, and now I'm wondering if he may have had that "something68" virus that is going around. There have been really hot days, and I just don't want a repeat of last year. Yesterday was school picture day, and it brought back so many memories that I really found myself trying to block out that it was yesterday. Thank goodness Thomas remembered...he made sure he wore decent clothes!
I really feel that life is very blessed right now...and that scares me. We are in such a good place again that I feel as though the only way to do is down, and I don't like living in constant fear. I really, really need to learn to relax, and in the meantime, I really do count life's blessings!
UPDATED: I learned this afternoon that a little girl passed away at a local daycare center after passing out on the playground. It absolutely seems unreal that this would happen, and that it would happen on this date almost makes me sick to my stomach. I can't stop thinking that could've been us last year. My prayers go out to this family, and I also send even more prayers of thanksgiving for the blessings of my kids!
