New Year's Eve 2007... one of the hardest times of our lives. The year that had brought so much joy, so much promise had turned on us. The year ahead was swimming in the murky depths of the unknown. We were no longer able to say that it was "baby time", to close our eyes so tight that tomorrow didn't exist.
So we cried. We cried, Alex wailed, and it snowed. The rest of the world toasted the New Year, and we toasted the unfairness of it all with a sad little bottle of champagne in a tiny little recovery room.
And then tomorrow came. 2008 came. Doctors came, diagnosis came... chemo, radiation, and poopy diapers.
Now here we are. We moved past the treachery of 2007. We kicked the shit out of all that 2008 could muster. Rock n' Roll! We are a family and we are whole...
I have said it and written it enough times that I am already embarrassed, but we could not have done it without our families, our friends, and the random six degree people who anonymously read this blog. So thank you, thank you, thank you. We could not have made it through the murky water without you...
Happy New Year... life, as we know it, has a bright future.
