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...
