This Crazy Life

Hopes and dreams are a beautiful thing.  Especially when you have a child that hasn’t had any for a really, really long time.  The other day she told me that maybe she could go back to school after Christmas break.  She would have to leave for lunch and eat in the car with me or grandma, but she thought maybe she would be able to do it by then.  She also thought she could maybe go to a football game to watch her sister cheer.  I think these are both really big things.  Do I think she’s ready for either of them, probably not.  Did I tell her that?  Definitely not.  I’m just excited by the fact that she’s thinking about wanting to do things.  That’s a good first step I think.   As long as we can keep making baby steps forward I will work on my patience.
