i love my life

I remember thinking that often, but particularly one time while exiting the freeway, headed home with my baby boy in the backseat. 
I loved my life. 
I loved my husband. 
I loved my baby boy. 
I loved that I was able to stay home with Will. 
I loved where I lived. 
I loved my family, my in-laws, my friends. 
I loved everything about my life. 
Life was good. 

That was the best feeling in the world. I was high on life. I miss that feeling. It's scary how fast it can all change. How fast it can all be taken away... six months ago. 
I long for that feeling. 
I hope, one day, I can feel that way again... 
but honestly, I'm not sure if I will. 
It will never be the same.

I think it is so great that you took it all in, and genuinely realized and appreciated your blessings in the moment. I hope you can take some kind of comfort in the fact that you didn't mindlessly let those times pass you by. xoxo

I echo what Shana says--there is a lesson here for the rest of us.

It will forever be different. But it will be a good different too. Maybe even a fantastic different someday.

It will never be the same, but hopefully someday you are able to say those words again and feel that happiness again. You deserve to! xoxoxo

I don't know why but the expression came across my mind that it's better to have loved than lost than to never have loved. although your "loss" is different than what most lose when applying that saying (at least that's what it seems). you have an amazing ability to express yourself. i hope you realize that is a "gift" that is unique to you. i don't think many could express your life experiences in such an articulate way. maybe through your expressed thoughts you will cause other people to ponder what they have and to consciously appreciate it. one thing you will never lose is your memories and documentation of them as well as your ability to do that in the past, present and future. :)

I know your life will never be the same and for that I am so sorry. But you have 2 tiny little faces that will brighten each and everyday for the rest of your life and each day that is apart of Patrick looking at you. It might not be the same, but it can be great. Hugs.
