Right Now

Life is very good right now.  Everyone is relatively healthy, just periodically dealing with typical ailments like ear infections, head colds, and stomach bugs.  When we visit the pharmacy, it is for antibiotics, not heart meds or Vicodin.  Just comparing how far Matthew has come in the past year + reminds us to be so very thankful for this good life today.  

I was further reminded the other day.  I'm a member of couple of rare chromosome disorder support groups and one featured a little girl as their angel of December.  The sweet little girl with a rare chromosome disorder went to heaven at age 13.  Her story wasn't that different from Matthew's.  This was a reminder that though life is very good right now, that may not always be the case. Matthew's health could take a turn.  Hopefully not, but it could and because of that, I need to be very, very thankful for the goodness of now.  I am very thankful for right now.
