Three years has gone by in the blink of an eye. I've never written a poem, but it felt right for this year's anniversary. Love you Three years paralyzed My little girls grown before my eyes Three years watching, your fight and your grit Even when experts spoke words we’d never admit Your patience has been tested as you watch others do what you dream to one day do You’ve confided in us & express just how unfair life can feel for you Mom & I have tried to make sure you feel love & included Because everyone deserves to live life to the fullest Never diluted I’ve tried to teach you about life while I’m still learning Tried to keep you motivated when I’m tired & I’m hurting I’ve tried to look as calm as a duck on water My legs moving quickly beneath Something I don’t want you to see right now My precious daughter At times, mom & I fear the uncertainty But we’re brave enough to weather the storm Because you need us to be You inspire us to be more than we thought we could be Like it or not, I know there’s a reason At least that’s what I choose to believe in Now I won't lie, I’ve asked the question why Especially with how often I’ve had to watch you cry For three years I’ve cried more tears than I care to admit Yet not enough to heal all my pain & anger, not all of it For three years I’ve been trying to keep our lives as normal as can be Even though “normal” really is just a fallacy All this time I’ve known our story is an epic one We’ll write it together & look back proudly when it’s all done I say this with tears of joy in my eyes Because I know the best is yet to come - - - - #caregiver #spinalcordinjury #dad
