Today I'm feeling very thankful. The combination of one of my best friends fighting cancer and my sweet baby Rory growing through another month make me feel like every single day we have is the most precious day. Right before my eyes Rory changes every week. Now he sits, he rolls, he talks, he laughs, he reaches out...it literally was just weeks ago that he didn't do any of these things. And I know that in a few weeks he'll be onto even newer things. I wish I could bottle every moment up, and put it in my pocket to carry with me always. And while Rory is growing and changing and only beginning to taste what life is like here, my grandma is having to face saying goodbye. I'm not ready to say goodbye. I'm not ready to say goodbye to her and I'm not ready to say goodbye to Rory being my little baby. But today I came home from work and Rory smiled at me. So I held him, played with him, ate with him, bathed him, rocked him, fed him, laid him down and watched while he slept...secretly hoping he'd wake up again so I could hold him. And today I can talk to my Grandma, I can share stories with her and laugh with her and tell her that I love her. So, I'm very thankful for today, and I hope there are many more todays ahead.
