Once we had wonderful plans: globe trotting, cruising, hiking, lounging on exotic beaches. Adventures for as far as we could see, for as long as we could go. Now those plans have been replaced by pill counting, doctor appointments, diaper changing, and overseeing his day.
My life, our life has been forever changed by a catastrophic diagnosis- one we never could have imagined or planned for. Sometimes, I don’t even remember my life before; that’s on impactful the diagnosis has been.
A picture ( two beach chairs side by side) bought and hung long ago in the spirit of our future plans, still hangs on my wall, reminding me how fragile life is. Now I must adapt to a new picture, a new way of being. There will be a tomorrow, just not the one I planned on.
