Eighteen months ago today,our journey with leukemia began.An entire year and a half.Feels like a lifetime ago and then,on some days,feels like only yesterday.I think I prefer to look at it as a lifetime ago,seems much more comfortable to put time and distance between us and most especially Zoey,and cancer.
Today I picked Zoey up at school.Her 3rd full week completed.I lifted that courageous, tiny body of her's from that darling train she rides in.I set her on the ground as she signed "sit" and pointed,which is her way of letting you know she wants to get from one place to another.I watched her roll and scoot her way to the other children,her new beautiful friends, that were running about the front of the school, as the other mom's and I stood and chatted.I looked at her backpack and her green stained hands from finger painting and I rejoiced.
Eighteen months later and the view,from my vantage, is truly magnificent.

What a joyful post. I pictured the entire event in my mind. I think it is so sweet that she enjoys being with her friends already. It makes me excited to watch as Ella gets to do that next year.
I am delighting in your happiness!!
Hugs and kisses!!
Yipee, she is just getting cuter and cuter every day. I thought she was diagnosed in October? Maybe I'm dreaming! Ray told me he is impatiently waiting for a Zoey post!
LOVE the piture of your big girl and such a sweet sweet post. just loving hearing about school and signing and all things normal.
What a beautiful image you drew for us...such a happy place to be right now. Yes rejoice in the present and enjoy every moment of it, Zoey so deserves this normalcy...
Btw she looks absolutley adorable in those pictures, what a little beauty! Much love to her
Aghhhh...that sounds fabulous! Green finger paint hands are simply the best....
Congratulations, Heather - and Zoe of course. Such a big milestone.
Heather, as Zoe can now communicate clearly that she wants to move and where she wants to go, it might be time to start thinking about powerchairs... cos the one thing better than having her delivered to you on that adorable little train will be having her come meet you and run circles around you all on her own.
What a blessing! So happy for you, friend! Love and Hugs!!!
Who would have thought that 'Tricky Dick' would have such a sweet quote? :)
