Happy Place

I got a copy of this picture printed and put it on my fridge.  I look at it when M is having a hard day with her patches, when I wish she was born without a congenital cataract, when all I want to do is cry with her all day, and when all I want to do is give up.

I look at this picture to try to remember that even though all of this sucks really badly right now, every minute, hour, day we are successful in patching her, means that her vision will be that much better in the future.  I look at this picture so I can remember that my happy little loving life baby girl will be ok.  She'll be ok today, tomorrow, and in the many years to come.  She'll be better than ok!
