.............getting ready for a craft show on Saturday,
...............tilling a spot for our garden next spring,
.................trying to keep up with the ever growing pile of laundry,
.................and just being.
I read this from a blog that I follow, and it broke my heart. It took my mind to that dark place for a little. But I quickly have to bring myself back. Back to now, back to happy, back to what I know today. And that is that nobody is guaranteed anything. Nobody has a guarantee of tomorrow or what it might bring. Even though the average life expectancy for a Downs person is reported to be about age 55, there is no statistic or article that can determine what will happen. It's in God's hands.
And I know that as long as there is breath in my body, Kamdyn's life will be filled with love and happiness. She is going to have so much love poured over her. Seeing Madison, Austin, and Justus with her, I know that she will continue to get that long after I'm gone. And I refuse to even entertain the idea of it being any other way.
I used to be able to close my eyes and picture my future. I thought I could see what it would be like and where I would be. Now, I'm not sure. And strangely, I'm ok with that, because I know it's going to be good. So good.
Forgive the slide show. I ran out of room in my allowed space for holding pictures. So now I'm trying to figure out how to upload to the blog without this wonderful slide show thing. Any suggestions are very welcome!!!
I did play with photobucket and figure it out. So that works.
love the header! I was reading the same post earlier. I think I finally have my mind to the point where it doesn't venture past a month or so down the road. Hope all is well.
