The timing of John's surgery date coinciding with the new year makes for a good time of reflection. His "second birthday" will always follow the ringing in of the new year and I think it adds to the mindset of starting fresh and being thankful for everything that we have. I'll never forget that very long day but I am glad that I took the time to write about it when it was fresh. Every time I read this, I remember the 'me' that I was that day: vulnerable, hopeful, scared. Remembering how quickly you can lose everything you love is a good impetus to align your gratitude and your goals and drive the course of your life instead of letting it drive you.

Happy 3, JJ. I love you. I'm glad we're still on this road together.
