It has been one year since Jason's heart attack. One fast but traumatic and life changing year. It has also been a year of hope, love, laughter and pure joy. As we watched Jacob play soccer tonight I tried to think back over the year's events but I could not go there. Life is so good now. Nothing but forward.
Thank you to you all and you know who you are who have helped us, supported us, called, emailed, visited, lent us your ears, your rooms, your table. You are all part of our family. XO's to Audrey and Roland.
I also managed to forget my parent's 40th wedding anniversary. It is today. Last June 23rd I had my mind blown and did not remember them of course. Yesterday I found a book with birthdays and anniversary's in it and I saw it. Now I have known when Mom and Dad's anniversary is but last year it got blown out of my memory bank and did not return this year. It is hard to imagine something that devestating wiping my parent's anniversary out of my long term memory. Happy 40th Mom and Dad. Hopefully next year I won't be as lax.
I start my new job tomorrow and I am so excited. I am off to bed. Spent all day today with Jacob and his class at Mont Cascade waterpark in Quebec - lots of sunscreen and fun!
Goodnight and I will leave you with the card Mom and Dad sent Jason:
The earth went around the sun again, and you made the full circle in good health. What a difference a year makes.
A year this is undpubtedly a blurr but also etched in your memory forever. I am so happy for your happy ending and your exciting future.....a new chapter is now open.
