Yesterday was the last day of LITTLE and today was the first day of BIG! Today ... my Littles started Kindergarten, and in a decade plus a few years, they will graduate high school with the Class of 2023.

It has occurred to me over the last week as I've recovered from a pretty intense surgery, just how blessed I am. For the most part, I've been alone in my house since I've come home from the hospital, and in between my haze, halluncinations and delusions, I've had quite a bit of time to think.
I'm not used to being here alone. Von, of course, has checked on me frequently throughout the day and night, and at times, I think he has been convinced that I wasn't going to live. I too thought that I was going to just lay down and die. I thought of my Mother in her final days and imagined that she felt just like I did. I dreamed of her. I visited with her. I saw me hugging her. I spoke with her and I heard her voice tell me that everything is okay. I felt like I was on the inside looking out at my life in a very strange sort of way. It's so funny how pain medications can effect certain people. I can not take them. Strangely, the pain is more tolerable than the effects to me.
At five o'clock this morning I woke up nose to nose to a sleeping little boy on my pillow. I laid there and looked at him and wondered how I could miss a week of his life. I felt guilty for pawning my children off on relatives while I slept off the effects of pain medications. There were times that I wasn't even aware of them being in the room with me, and the time I let a popsicle melt all over me while I slept sitting up.
I was close enough to smell him and reach out and kiss his cheek without moving. Then with his eyes still closed, he smiled and said, "This is a great day."
Today is going to be a great day! I am loved.
