It’s been 18 months of loving Livvy! It’s been the most tumultuous, emotion filled year and a half of my life, but today brings tears of joy and happiness. They aren’t kidding when they say God works in mysterious ways. I don’t think it is by chance that Livvy was sent home from daycare sick yesterday (she’s actually fine!), so she could be home with me today, and she and I could spend this milestone together. It is God’s way of, once again, re-directing my attention to life’s greatest blessings and forcing me to slow down. Livvy and I have both come so far, and today we celebrated that with plenty of hugs and snuggles. I am so proud of Livvy and the resilient, smart, fearless, funny little girl she is. To know her is to love her.
