The Calendar

So when my Mommy and Daddy found out they were having their first baby over 3 and a half years ago, Mommy went out and bought this dry erase calendar. It was perfect to write their work schedule down on, when Daddy had clinicals, the all important baby appointments, and especially how many weeks old I was. It became very important to them during those eight months because they very early on started having to juggle weekly appointments with mutiple speicalists and different tests and that side section was constantly being filled up with special instructions for all those specialists and tests. You may be looking at that calendar right now and think that is just last month, it was last month . . . 3 years ago. Mommy finally made a big step for herself and erased that month off the calendar. It was a month that completed changed Daddy and Mommy's existence, everything they knew about life and this world was turned up side down and inside out. It was an end to one existence, and the beginning of something new. It was if she saw that calendar as her connecting point to the two separate lives she has now lived and if she were to erase the writing she would erase her connection. But she has finally realized that they really aren't that separate, that they are the same wonderful life and that it only keeps getting better. Good bye August 2006 Calendar.
