Yesterday evening, The Peanut cheered at her first football game. As you can see from the big smile, she enjoyed it despite being in the hot sun on a swelteringly humid and hot day.
I don't think that smile left her face all evening. Truly.
Sitting on the sidelines, gratitude hit me like a wave. For so long during my breast cancer treatment slog the last few years, there was always that fear lurking in the back of my mind that I would not get to see her grow up, that I would miss little moments like this with her along the way.
But I am here and, as far as we know anyway, am doing well.
Here is to more days like this to come in the years ahead. Take a moment today to count your many blessings, because it truly does make the day seem so much brighter as a perspective on the world around you.
