I Recognize Her!

She’s my mom! Every day is becoming more and more normal. When ever I talk to mom I get this smile in my heart. She’s back. It’s her. I remember her. It’s wonderful.

The last few weeks she’s been helping me with Lee’s birthday plans. Helping me with ideas and helping me with the cake. I wanted something super special, but I’m terrible at these things. She is creative and I couldn’t have picked the perfect cake without her. It’s so nice to share these moments. A year ago she could barely get off the couch, and now she’s participating in life. It’s remarkable. No day is taken for granted. 

So we celebrated Lee’s birthday and the next day Mom came over for Easter. We had a BBQ. She made not one, not two, but three dishes! And man was it yummy. We had a really great time.

I get giddy when I think of all the possibilities that lie ahead for her. For us. It’s like each day is Christmas and I can’t wait to unwrap each new day.
