It was a Wednesday so we couldn't celebrate it with family. But we took her to Bounce U, which is one of her favorite places.
I tried to make it special for her. But she doesn't know why it is a special day or what special is.
Special is... Grace.
I got myself depressed because I thought it wasn't special enough. But then I look at the pictures of her at Bounce U and her face is SO happy. I saw how she ran and got all the wrapped presents and ran off with them so she could open them. I saw they way she looked at the books and the new gears and the other things we got her and realized that she DID think that was special.
How do you see that smile and not feel that everyday is special with her. Granted, some days are harder than others, but everyday that has that smile and that laugh in it is a good day.
Things are different with her than they were with Joy and no matter whatI do, I can't change that. I have to accept it.
And I have to accept that it's OK. They are two different beings and two different lives and it's good. I have been blessed with two beautiful daughters and it only makes sense that this family is so special because we are all so different. Including the dogs!
Gotta love her!
