Meet Carter

It’s hard to believe that as of yesterday, 8/17, it has been 7 months since Carter’s Transplant. To say the least, I think it safe to say that we’ve all learned a little bit about our selves over that span of time. And when I say “we” I mean all of YOU too! Seven months is such a short period of time when you look at life, but really I’ve felt like THIS past seven months has been a lifetime. So…what have we learned? And has it made a difference in YOUR life? OUR life? I know that I learned about COURAGE and COWARDICE. I’ve learned about Happiness and Sadness. I’ve learned about responsibility and irresponsibility. I’ve learned about LOVE and HATRED! I’ve learned about internal WAR and internal Peace. I’ve learned about spiritualism and religion-ism. I’ve learned about friends and enemies. I’ve learned what it takes to be a good parent and a bad parent. I’ve learned about strength and weakness. I’ve learned about being a good husband and a bad husband. I’ve learned that FAMILY should be a rock to fall back on not a rock that should fall on you! I’ve learned that I’m not always right, but not always wrong. I have learned that no matter how hard you try, you can’t change the past, by just closing your eyes. I learned that if you live in the day, you can direct the future. I learned that the future doesn’t suck, it’s just difficult to deal with. I’ve learned dealing with it is difficult. I’ve learned living to deal with it, can’t be done alone. And I’ve learned that I’m not alone. What have you learned?

Here are some recent photos of our little warrior… He continues to teach us so much…I can’t wait to learn more!
