(still Abigail's birthday)

This morning I woke up and Eleanor was watching me, her little face a few inches from mine, her eyes full of hope and love and the expectation of how much fun we would have together today. I couldn't help but smile. I feel so lucky to have her. I am glad that I can at least appreciate what an incredible, amazing gift she is. It doesn't make me miss her sister any less, but it does help me to remember that the sun keeps rising and setting and there's a whole big life out there that I have to go and live. I may as well take as much joy as I can in it.
