It's been a while since I have written.....life has been busy. Maelee turned one! I can't even believe it! She is now 20 lbs and full of such joy! I look back over the past year and realize how far she has come and am amazed every day at how much she has learned and taught herself! I am so proud of her! I can't wait to watch every step of her journey and see what comes next. But with that said here is the post for the day....
This journey is not an easy one. It is not one we asked for but we are so blessed to have been given. I wouldn't change our life, the beautiful daughter we were chosen to raise or the challenges along the way. The past year I have learned that many do not understand the struggles in our life on a daily basis and many do not stick around to find out. We have lost friends along the way, people have stopped caring, and many are annoyed with the conversation of Maelee or may think we are asking for pity.
Maelee is my daughter. I love her and everything about her. Our life is a bit different than some others and comes with a little bit of a different schedule but we love it, some days it's exhausting and other days I wish we could fast forward to the next....but we were chosen to raise this miracle and we are blessed with just that. I am not sorry if I talk about Maelee too much, I am not sorry if I share her therapy information too much, I am not sorry if I share her achievements too much, and I am not sorry if her doing something which may seem so small to you is such an accomplishment I want to put a billboard up.
I am thankful for the friends we do have. I am thankful for the friends we have met. The amazing group of people I have met online I can't begin to thank. There are so many wonderful people who have come into our lives and have just been there when we needed a place to cry or just say nothing at all. Some days are hard and others are not but the worry doesn't ever change.
A friend sent me this song a few months back and I am amazed at how fitting it is....please take a moment to listen. :)
Remember we are given one life and one one chance to live it! Enjoy what you have, the people in it, and love with everything you have! I love my husband and daughter with all my being. Maelee is our world and we will go to the end of our being to give her everything she deserves! :)
