It is a sunny, warm winter day today. These days pull my heart like the chain that continues to connect us between heaven and Earth.
These days remind me of the worry I felt when you got your hip replaced, and the panic I felt when I got the call the next day saying your implant failed and you had to go back in and have it redone.
These days remind me of a year later, on your Daddy's birthday, when you were so very happy to see him, you jumped up to greet him and broke your leg, and the screams that followed. I pray, one day that sound comes out of my head.
These days remind me of waiting to hear of how your 9 hour surgery went to fix that leg, and of waiting to see you come out of the hospital to pee, hiding in the car so you didn't hurt yourself.
These days remind me of when the few days later, when the plate failed and our trip back up to Davis, praying this wasn't the end. It reminds me of waiting, once again, to know if you were going to make it. 6 hours, waiting... and then trying to save your life while you recuperated.
My love, I will never forget you and all you endured for us...
I love you.
