Price of Love

Day 157 - The price I paid for the best friend I have ever had. My body changed so drastically, stretching 100 pounds in weight and deflating again, the skin ripped and torn, the blood clots that ravished my left leg, my beauty faded... none of those things matter when I think about what joy it has given me.

Aadon is the brightest shining star in orbit. He is the sunshine breaking through my cloud. He is the driving force that keeps me marching forward. I would not have changed a thing. I would pay this price a thousand times over.

Maybe I will never come to terms fully with what my body has become. But at least I must TRY. Such a large community of 365ers trying to know themselves, to reflect and love themselves. I am amongst them trying to come to terms. I was crying when I took this photo. Aadon came into the room and said "Mama, pretty? pretty..." and shook his head yes. In that moment, he convinced me that what was in the mirror before me was not ugly at all... I love you Aadon.

Day 171 - The most beautiful and well deserved hangover Ive ever had. Athfest was a friggin blast and I couldnt have been more in musical bliss than I was. Today is my day of rest. I have things that only sleep will cure...

Day 172 - Man, Im worn out. Its a day later and all I could do was lay down for another nap. I took my son to school this morning... had all kinds of giant productive plans for today... oh well... I need this. I love this couch more than any other object I own.. oh mr. couch, how I love thee. :)
