Today is Valentines day so let me start off by saying how much I LOVE my family!! They so totally rock! They are so accepting of one another and especially of me. They never let me take things too seriously and seem to always know when I need a laugh. And they tell me often how much they love me and that, "You're the best mom in the world." Admittedly, they say this most often when there are cookies involved, but still.
I have heard from a couple of different sources that 90% of marriages don't make it after a brain injury. Sad. Understandable (I am the neediest person I know) but sad. But Robert is a saint. I can never repay what he has done for this family. I try to show him and tell him every day how much I love him. He makes me laugh, makes me truly happy, and even brings me breakfast in bed a lot. He often asks, "What do you need to make this day special?" I mean seriously, how sweet is that? I'm glad he is my forever Valentine.
Now, a totally different subject, but I so want to remember this.
The other day, Jain (5), said, "It's time for you to let go and let me dress myself. You need to let me grow up." Um, okay. A few minutes later she came in my room to ask if I could help her pick out clothes. After picking an outfit, she took one look in the mirror and pronounced, "It's not me." ???????!!!!!!!
Today I had a cut on my ear and I guess it started bleeding. She, very gravely, said, "Mom, you have an owie. If you turn into a zombie, I'm kicking you out." I have been warned.
Happy Valentines Day!
