happy 2nd brain surgery & recovery anniversary

OK, so I missed it. Now it is just by one day... and to be clear, I did remember yesterday... I was to lazy, ahem, to busy to put  up a post.

Yesterday was an imortant anniversary... incidentally it was ALSO  my parents 35th wedding anniversary.... which I totally forgot about. I am tellin' ya, I have lost my mind, and I am afeared it shant be returning anytime soon. (rabbit trail done)

Yesterday was the2 year anniversary of the Captain's tumor and brain surgery. Many of you heard about our family right around this time 2 years ago. And I have made many a bloggy friend since then. I am forever thankful for all of your prayers for our family. I cannot express to you enough how impactful each comment, each prayer, each card, each phone call, each hug has meant to the Captain and me....since Caden, through the brain surgery...the incarceration.... and just through life, which can be hard.



However, today as the Captain left for work... no cancer, no chemo, no evidence of the surprise health crisis of 2 years previous, I took a moment and said a prayer of thanks. Thanks for the Captain's life, for 2 years of precious boys, for the normalcy that has returned...for moments in this temporal life that make me anticipate eternal life.

So, please join me today in wishing the Captain happy 2nd brain & surgery recovery anniversary. Just kinda rolls off the tongue nice and easy, doesn't it?

Happy Life, Captain!
