Five years ago yesterday, I suffered my stroke. It's kind of hard to realize how traumatic that entire experience was as you get farther and farther away from it. However, I use it as a reminder of how fortunate I am to be here and healthy five years later. It helps me appreciate growing older every day. 

Tanner and I had a dinner downtown last night and went to Lulu's BBQ. It happens to be right across the street from the Moxie Bakery where Tanner I went to breakfast the day of my stroke. I said something to Tanner about it and he said, "it's not something I really want to remember." I shared my perspective on why I choose to remember in hopes he can appreciate my perspective. And of course, I can appreciate his too. 

It was a lovely time at dinner chatting about college tours (gasp!), watching the Olympics and just enjoying the 1:1 on one time as we get ready for his last year at home. What a gift it is to spend time with one of my amazing sons. One of the many things I am fortunate to experience.
