Holding our breathe

What a relief today has been. It feels as if we have our Ricki back!  There have been no tears and she has been laughing, smiling,singing and in such good spirits all day. It is the first day in over a month she has had this much energy and actually wanted to go out and do something. It was a beautiful autumn day and we thoroughly enjoyed getting out and soaking up the sun. It has reminded me of the importance of cherishing each day and all the simple and sweet experiences that we have with each other on a daily basis. We will hold our breath in hopes that whatever was causing her so much pain this past month has passed and that she can continue to enjoy this beautiful autumn we are having.
