My daughter. My family. My love. My life. My health. My both legs… if possible, both in working conditions.
Life is precious. I already knew that. It was a hard learned lesson from a few years ago. Now is not just my life that is precious. Being able to be with my daughter and enjoy her is precious. There are some inexplicable and heart wrenching moments in one’s life. There are a mix of these with pure bliss when a child is born.
2016 isn’t over yet but I dare to say that my biggest lesson from 2016 is: having and taking care of a baby is life changing, complicated and hard.
From the bouncing hormones to the post-partum complications, from the sleepless nights to the impaired decision making capacity, from the almost constant tiredness to never getting everything done… it’s been a hell of a year and a lot of hard learned lessons.
… and the baby.
It’s a bed reducer and a support to steady her when she sleeps on her side. They both have come in handy.
It will sound cheesy but I don’t care… Every day that I’m with both of you. It has been a year full of everything wonderful, and not so great stuff, but I am so very lucky to be able to be here with you.
And the word really is Lucky.
Both feet on the ground… and all the tools at my disposal to reach the (sky) tree fruits.
