A Year it has been......

It has been a year since Aidan's diagnosis. WOW really? I still can feel the pain and the sorrow. Feels like yesterday sometimes. First week of the diagnosis I cried every single day. I didn't think I would come out of this roller coaster of emotions. Then the next week I cried every other day. Now I cry once in awhile when I just need to let it out. Aidan has changed so much since last year. He is still doing speech and physical therapy. He does say words and sometimes puts two words together. Each day I remember that we were choosen as his parents for a reason. Sometimes I wonder why my little boy? why him? but then I remember what my friend told me when I was having a bad day a year ago. She said why not us? We were choosen for this for a reason, So why not pick us. We are strong, encouraging, and we will stand up and fight. Every day I try and remember that. We still have our struggles and we still have to make some hard decisions but we will do it to the best of our ability and do whats right for Aidan. This year has made me stronger and has made me realize things that I took for granted. I adore being Aidan, Jacob, and Abagail's mommy.
