Tomorrow will be 9 years since you left. Time does not make it easier, even though people say this is the way. I imagine what you would look like, our conversations, what school would be like for you. I question things I never thought of before, like life after death. Will you be there?

But after 4 months in the NICU with the great doctors and even the more Awesome Nurses, on ECMO 6 days(day 2 - day 7), hernia repair at 3 days old, open heart surgery at 3 and a half months old, and finally g-tube placement right before 4 ...

Ethan is doing very well. He has been playing a lot today. He didn't want to go to sleep without his water bottle Monday night. I think we had our first argument. He wanted to have it open while he went to sleep and I closed it. He got so mad. I set it by his bed, but he still carried on to have it open.
