today we took my daughter to the zoo and in the car, i heard a voice and a word i haven't heard in years from her:
"Mom!"
"bath-room"
we were driving. i couldn't believe it when i heard it, it was magnificent. she had fun at the zoo, her favorite things to look at today seemed to be the reptiles. it was a great day, they just keep building on each other one day at a time. brilliant!
addendum: why this was new and signifcant to me, is because she will say "hello" when i call her to tell her i'm coming to see her, i tell her what time etc and then she says "bye". she hasn't talked to me in person in so long, that this was a "wow" moment. i know i might not hear that again, which is the sobering part, like how i started to forget her voice. but it gives hope that things could get better for her as they are ever so slowly.

How wonderful Steph! Keeping you both in my prayers
Magnificent! More to come...I know it!
thank you everyone
It's amazing that it happens when we least expect.
Very happy for you and Lindsay!
More to come, sure.
I've a suspicion, there will be more and more of these surprises to come, at the most unlikely moments.
And then at the Least likely of moments, you know: when you completely exhausted and wanting nothing more in the whole world than a good night's sleep, the dam's going to break, ..... and she'll talk your ear off.
That's wonderful news Stephany.
Great news Stephany. Any one can be a mother it takes someone special to be a "mom".
thanks you guys!

Herrad
