And Another Thing

In my haste to commemorate this little corner's two year anniversary, I total missed the obvious.

Thank you.

Not to get all Academy Awards on you, but really, this place would not be the same without you. Without comments. Without knowing that somewhere, someone is actually reading what I write. Otherwise, I could just scrawl in a notebook like I did for fifteen years before I started coming here.

So yes, thank you for coming to listen to me rant and whine and kvell about Down syndrome and all its highs and lows.

Thank you for indulging me by listening to the tales of Leo and Ellie and all their adventures and misadventures as I lose my patience and mind/laugh/drink wine/sigh deep sighs/continue to be sleep deprived/wonder how life could have ever been so simple (before kids)/wouldn't have it any other way (now).

Thank you for your patience and empathy when I talk about my dead mother.

Thank you for returning for all the talk about shoe shopping and baking and OCD and ear infections and strep throat (BORING) and the continuing saga of Leo's haircuts and...for slogging through all of it. And for staying around.

I really can't thank you enough.
