megastone

 

Two years ago
tomorrow
the Eye journey
began
beginning with
the removal of
the cataract
the lens
and ultimately
the discovery of
PFV or PHPV
Easton's Eye
diagnosis

 

fast forward
to today
and I never
would have imagined
being here

picking out pumpkins
with my punkins
 

happy and healthy
with the Eye
sewn oh so sensitively
into the fabric of
all our lives

 

this day today
felt so far away
on that day
which makes
tomorrow feel
monumental
more than a
milestone
rather a
megastone

to think of
how far
we have come
October 2010
October
forever will feel
monumental
 

we survived
we continue
we thrive
 

having premature
babies in the NICU
that is the prayer
survive and thrive
 

and for us
that was October
two years ago
to be here
on the other side
seeing and believing
the power
the prayer
it is most definitely
a megastone

this girl
our girl
Baby B
our miracle
anything but
a vanishing twin
continues to mystify
born this way
born just because
born 6 weeks early
born at 2 lbs. 12 oz.
born with not one
but two holes
in her heart
has completely stolen
our hearts

I will never forget
seeing her
believing in
her
holding her
for just
one hour a day
her entire torso
cradled
not in my arms
but in my palm
hold a pop can
and hold her then
her entire hand
the width of
all four fingers
fit around
my finger tip



here's a tip
have faith
believe
what is meant
to be
will be
they will be
who they are
meant to be

 

went to
yet another
cardio apt.
for her
one hole gone
closed on it's own
second hole
showing signs of
tissue growth
this is huge
this is a
megastone

we are
surviving
we are
thriving

even tonight
big girl
had a first
is the first
to go
not number one
but number two
on the froggy potty
woohoo

and him
oh him
he is
he will always
be mega
yes, big in size
especially when
next to her
but even bigger
in the difference
he makes

the difference
they make
in our life

Happy Birthday Great-Grandma Millie, Oct. 20th!

megastone!
