2 Years A.D.

April 15th will forever be diagnosis day for us.

(It's also my niece's birthday - Happy Birthday, Laurynn!)

Erin brought up diagnosis day on the way to school today.  Maybe it's a sign of progress for me that it wasn't the first thing I thought about this morning.  Maybe it's that I was distracted the dental implant appointment I had this morning.   As I drove to the Mayo Clinic, I recounted the events of that day...

But, today is a different day, 2 years after diagnosis (2 A.D.).  We are optimistic as we continue to heal and move forward.  It makes me think of the lyrics from a Counting Crows song titled A Long December: "...and there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last..."

Today, we are doing alright.  Year 2 A.D., bring it on...
