I love to be liked

  I woke up this morning to way more likes than normal on Facebook.   I started to wonder what I had done, what awesomeness I had shared.   It turned out it was a co-worker who had gone through my pictures and liked a bunch.  

I started to look through all the
Pictures she took the time to like.   Everyone was me with my husband or my son or one of my daughters or the five of us.   It has been a really rough weekend.   I have spent a lot of time hating where I am, hating this disease that haunts us.   But it was in the time I looked through all the pictures she liked I was able to see us.  To see us as I loved us.  To see us as a family celebrating milestones.    In viewing what she liked I was reminded of the gift of time we have been given.   I was reminded of the gift of family we have been given.    It was in seeing these likes I was able to take a step back from the here and the now and remember how special we are as a family.
