Blessed

I am blessed with a phenomenal daughter who is very strong and supportive. I am blessed with arguably the best mom and dad on the planet. I am blessed with a fantastic husband. I am blessed with having really good people in my life. For 27 years, 2 months, and 4 days I was blessed with an incredible son. I never did “enough” in my life to warrant such a wealth of blessings, but I am so thankful for all of them. ALL of them.

Dakota’s “ex” sent me pictures tonight that her daughter took of my son. Ironic to me, somehow. The EX. The one most people want to assign blame to. But being honest... this isn't HER fault. She had a role, sure. Anyhow, I’m glad the ex sent me pictures I didn't otherwise have, no matter anything else. I think my son would be proud of how I have handled that... he wouldn’t want me to blame or be hateful. I can’t be friends with her or anything, but I think he would understand that, too. He would know it’s the very best I can give.

Dear god, I miss my son.

...today is my mom's birthday. I hope she's coping.
