30 Days of Thanksgiving- Day 1

Besotted

1.5 years.

18 months.

547.5 days.

13,140 hours.

I am in awe of how life has changed since this sweet child entered my world.  I have seen, experienced, felt, done things I never thought possible.  In the past 18 months, I have witnessed so many firsts: first smile, first tooth, first step, first word, even a first hospital stay.  I have witnessed love and friendships blossoming between siblings.  As well as compassion, camaraderie, challenges...  I have witnessed personalities mature.  Independence tested.  Reassurance sought.  I have witnessed family not as a noun, but as a living, breathing, growing, loving verb.  I have found my comfort.  I have found my solace.  I have found my anxiety, my fear.  I have found my frustration.  I have found my responsibility.  I have found my continuing, growing love.  I am besotted.

Wouldn't you be?
