I remember going to the grocery store and as we were checking out the clerk said to me can he have stickers. I looked at him and I said he doesn’t understand what stickers are. I got back to my car and I bawled. I thought why didn’t I just say yes or even no thank you but no I said he doesn’t understand stickers. Sometimes it is the little things that trip you up on this journey but just keep moving forward. Last night I found a sheet of stickers and I handed them to Owen. He looked and looked at them. Then I peeled one off. He looked at it and I stuck it on his finger. He signed “more” so I gave him another one. Then “more” again. He was so excited about the stickers. I look back on that day, that only now seems like a distant memory and I’m thankful that he was now excited about stickers. Every day seems to bring new moments in time that I’m thankful for.
