We made it! Maddy was home for Christmas and her birthday! I try to always think positive, but I have to admit I was holding my breath a little bit :) She had a great Christmas and our whole family was very blessed in so many ways. I keep waiting for Ben to question Santa, but we had so many out of the blue Christmas miracles, I am beginning to believe again too! I am not sure who to thank for making our season so magical, but you Secret Santa's know who you are, and we are so very, thankful!
Maddy woke this morning and couldnt believe it was her birthday and that she was 6. I think this is the first year she really gets it, and that was really exciting for her. We made a trip to Target where she got to spend her gift cards and we came home and baked a gluten free cake.
Dan is already back in China for another 2 weeks, so Mimi and Papa will be coming over to help celebrate this afternoon. I try to not live in the past. We all know where she has been, what was expected of her (or NOT expected of her), and the whole long story. That is what it is, a story, in the past and over and done with.
Today, I celebrate the fact that she is growing like a weed, talking all the time and is becoming very understandable. She is also only on ONE medication everyday. Today is not about the past, and the future isnt here yet, TODAY is her sixth birthday. She is happy and beautiful and celebrating and THAT is awesome!
