Elliott turned 3 months old on Friday. It has gone by just as fast as everyone said it would. He is different every day. The weeks was so nice. Getting to spend time with Selah and Zane was really special. Friday was also Zane's grandfather's viewing. I was nervous to go since I had never been to anything like that before, but I knew it meant a lot to my dad who was good friends with George and also to Zane. It's hard to watch a family grieve. Hard to watch people you love so sad over the loss of another loved one. I think I squeezed Elliott the whole time and then the next day at the service. My eyes welled with tears as I realized how short our lives really are. But looking at that family I also realized how much can be accomplished in our lives. Since the day I found out I was pregnant, I have made an effort to focus my life on positive things. Surround myself with positive and supportive people. After all, you only get this one chance. You don't really get a redo. Having Elliott at the funeral service was also a reminder of the circle of life. Things go on...move forward. So it's important to take note of the changes, of the little things, of the small moments. And never forget to say I love you. It's important.
