Today marks the first day of Hydrocephalus awareness month. September 13th marks the 2 year angelversary of my Makenna going to heaven.
With each passing day I remember her smile, her giggle but most of all I remember her bravery. If I can be half as brave as she was each day fighting a condition with no cure imagine how things would be.
This angel of mine was brave day in and day out. She hardly ever cried out in pain when on most days I'm sure she wanted to scream. Yet she didn't. She knew her mission was to be a warrior in a cute compact frame full of smiles and tenacity.
As we move through this month I know how blessed I am to be her mother for th e rest of my life. Although I must walk this part of the journey without her, I know I will be reunited with her one day. On that day it will be a glorious day full of giggles and smiles all for me. I'll reach down and scoop her up into my arms and say, "mommy missed you so much my little monkey", and I am sure she will give me a very joyous response, "mommy why did you miss me?; you've been by my side everyday. "
