Lifting Weights.

With every breathe it feels like an elephant is sitting on my chest. I keep remembering that tomorrow is the day. I know this might sound dramatic, but I honestly feel like I am going to a funeral not an office.

Skyler has had a remarkably hard weekend. She has been running a slight temp, has a runny nose, and a cough. We think it is teeth, but never having experienced the act of cutting chops, we are not sure. It might just be an ill-timed cold. Whatever it is, it's making her so uncomfortable, which makes the idea of taking her to care to tomorrow seem worse. She's pretty hard to comfort at the moment.

I have been reading and re-reading something my Mom sent me via email on Friday-

"Try to remember this quote from Christopher Robin to Winnie The Pooh:
You're braver than you believe,
and stronger than you seem,
and smarter than you think."

My Mom has been such an incredible support during this difficult time. She has really been sharing my pain. Without realizing it, she is showing me wanting to keep your kid from hurting is a life long pursuit. Tomorrow is just first step in a long journey.
