If You Had Said....

We are approaching the four year mark of where everything in our lives changed. If you had said to me back then that I would be seeing my soon to be five year old, pretending to read our "Happy Birthday to my Ears" book, I wouldn't have believed you. But here, she is...

If you had said to me four years ago that I would actually be asking my kids to "be quiet"...I wouldn't have believed you....but I do, almost everyday. And I remember being a grocery store hearing parents scold their children saying things like "stop talking...you're too loud...watch your mouth" and getting angry at them, secretly envying that they are able to do that, telling myself I would never let those words pass over my lips....but they do. If you had told me the other night when they were in a physical fight over nothing which actually left Brook bleeding with a knot near one of her implants, that I would see this the next morning...I wouldn't have believed you.

If you had said to me as I walked into the doctor's office that August of 2004, that the doctor would actually be able to implant my son just a few short months down the road, after attempting it with no success just the year before...I wouldn't have believed you. But he did! Lots can happen in four years!
