I was looking through my pictures recently. It is difficult to see our life before my son's injury.
Then to see the pictures and videos that I took while in the hospital brought a sense of comfort.
I didn't take any pictures or videos while in the INCU. That was the last thought on my mind. Once we were in recovery, one of the nurses suggested I should start. She said it would be nice to see all his progress.
It was hard for me to take pictures. When K was lying in bed when therapy started, it was challenging to see them move my son, and he would just let them with no engagement mentally or physically.
But now I am thankful to that nurse for suggesting documenting his recovery. I look at all the pictures and videos, and they give me so much hope and motivation.
To see how far he has come in only a year amazes me. To see how far we all have come. It has been a tough year filled with sadness, worry, and despair. But if I only focus on that, what message can I give my children? What hope can I give them? So instead, I focus on all the blessings we have.
That is a lesson I hope to carry with me and for them in our life. There will always be difficult times, but there will always be happy times.
Just like darkness exists, light exists. If we stop focusing and fearing the darkness, it may be easier to see the light.
