Reading through FB, there are so many who post about something they are thankful every day. Every moment of every day I'm thankful for my little A, who isn't so little anymore. She looks like a kid now...more and more. Pulling her curls back into a ponytail blows my mind.
I'm also thankful that Pop Pop is responding well to his cancer treatment. He had his vertebrae removed in the end of August and is one of the rare patients with his type of cancer who is able to have his kidney removed and also the area to where it spread. The prognosis generally isn't good for his kind of cancer (as in, lucky to be around a year after diagnosis) but the new meds that have come out the last few years have improved that a bit. That and his overall good health are in his favor. His scans set week came back clear, which gives us even more to be thankful for.
I still stop myself every day. There's a part of me that can't grasp the fact that I'm a mom. How did I get to be so lucky?
