Lost amid all the preemie drama of the unfolding year, I completely forgot: February marked my ninth year of blogging.
Nine freakin' years. I was 26 when I started blogging, which is hard to wrap my head around.
I started this blog as an experiment--prodded by my then-office mate, Jen--to hopefully improve my writing skills in general. . . and it's just kind of taken on a meandering life of its own in the ensuing years. It's definitely been an interesting ride, and it's a ride I almost abandoned a couple of times but soldiered on regardless.
And it's a good thing I kept at it, because having this blog to turn to in these dark--yet steadily improving--months has provided some of the strongest therapy imaginable.
Thanks again to all of you who have taken the time to comment, e-mail and share your own preemie experiences, well wishes and prayers. You've provided a source of strength during a seriously necessary time.
And, at this point, I see no reason why I shouldn't keep blogging, if for no other reason but to acknowledge a tenth year next February.
