1 year ago today
Happy Valentine's day, everybody. I hope you are acknowledging this day in a meaningful way. I had a delightful lunch with my amazing husband today.
My 1 year surgery anniversary is Tuesday. What a year it has been. I'd like to "spend" this post writing a letter to my loved ones about how I've grown and changed over the past year.
To my wonderful husband and daughter:
A year ago I was thinking what would happen to both of you if you lost me before my surgery. It was a paralyzing thought. It scared me so much. I was most scared for you, Riley. You were only 2 and so very wrapped up in me. If something happened to me, what would happen to you? Would daddy be able to hold it together? Would you have any memory of me at all? Enough about that!
A year later, I'm here, I'm healthy and ready to take on the world. Yes, my person has changed, my attitude towards life has changed and I want to share all the joy with both of you. You both loved me with the whole of your hearts before surgery and have done very well supporting me since surgery. I love feeling your hugs and receiving your kisses. I love the way you look at me. I love the way your touches make me feel.
I do need to tell you that I'm still feeling like I'm changing. I'm gaining more confidence and testing these new waters in my life. My love for you both has not changed. You are my life and the sunshine in my day. Without you I am an incomplete person. Because of you I am a mother and a wife. Because of your love I am a proud mommy and an adoring wife. Thank you for being yourselves and for being honest and real.
With all my love,
Denise
You have written such a lovely and meaningful letter, Denise. You must have a truly wonderful husband and daughter. Isn't it amazing that no matter how much we go through and change, our family is and will always be what our lives are truly all about!
Happy Valentine's day to you and everyone!
