Gratitude

Today, I took Ben to his physical therapy appointment for his torticollis. In the waiting room, I noticed several children who had cerebral palsy, others who had autism, and I even spoke with a mother of a baby who was seven months old and weighted less than Ben. The brave little girl was named Hope and had been born at 26 weeks, weighing less than a pound at birth; she had a long fight to survive and still has a long fight ahead of her. Seeing all of these families who face so many challenges made me so deeply grateful for our two healthy boys. I am overwhelmed by our blessings and humbled by the bravery of the parents who are fighting so hard for a normal life for their children.
