I love the living daylights out of her.

We waited a long time to see her walk.  It felt like we spent more time in doctors' offices than at the playground.  We've endured countless bad days and endless crying nights.  We feel stares from other people and continue to let go of too many big dreams.

We accept what we have been given, embrace the life we thought we weren’t strong enough to live.  And we know that there is always, always something to be thankful for.

Right now it's that she was sent another day.  And a beautiful new pink gown.
JEB, with big hugs to Rock Hill!

I love that while we're connecting with west coast family, Rock Hill cousins are sending love -- in such a beautiful way -- to Celia.
