Well, hello there November, and yes I am aware that it is November 3rd and well I should have written this three days ago, but anyway November has always been one of my absolute favorite months, for well the obvious, Thanksgiving, fall decorations, and MY BIRTHDAY! Which is in two days, I'm like V for Vendetta REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER. All of these awesome things are reasons to absolutely adore November, however two years ago November also developed a very different feeling.
November 10th will mark the two year anniversary since Kaleb's accident. And though I will always love November I now have a heavy heart as we fast approach that day. It is as though every birthday will in some odd way be a reminder of my 21st which is what I was celebrating when I received the phone call that forever changed our lives. Every Thanksgiving as joyous and wonderful as it will be will also remind me of the saddest Thanksgiving we ever celebrated, a Thanksgiving spent at Craig Hospital. November 17, will mark two years since we picked up everything and moved to Denver to begin the long road of recovery.
I still adore Thanksgiving, fall, and of course MY BIRTHDAY, but our lives did forever change during this wonderful month and that is a memory that you can't just forget. Eventual the hurt that the 10th brings will just be a faint sting, but right now it is still a gut wrenching pain. Eventual November will go back to being the best month ever, but for now it will be the month that changed everything.
XOXO,

Happy early birthday. This will be my 1st American Thanksgiving so I'm excited for it (we're Canadian). I don't know much about his accident but I'm so happy Kaleb is still here with you.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! :) Glad you can keep a positive look on things even when things get tough. Prayers for you during this month.

Happy early birthday! Fall is my favorite time of year and November marks the feeling of the "Holiday Season" for me. Wishing you and Kaleb the best!
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about his accident, but wishing you and Kaleb all the best. Stay positive! Happy early birthday to you, too!
ReplyDeleteHappy early birthday! Woohoo! November is also a sad time for us ... a lot of people in our family have passed during this month in the past few years. It can be a sad reminder but just remember that God has so many good things in store for you two. It is a painful reminder but it is also your first November married, your first birthday married, and your first thanksgiving while being married! :)
ReplyDeleteLove you both and we wait on God and His awesome plan
