Me, Now:
Today, I appreciated every moment with my living son. I tried to see the world through his eyes. I even appreciated when he took a nap this afternoon! He was very tired, so I insisted, even though he insisted he didn't need one. (He went to sleep almost immediately.)
That said, I know for a fact that I am less patient that I used to be, before Sam was in our lives. I could tell right away when I went back to work after he died. I was still nice to people, but inside got very impatient with helping people who just seemed to not get what I would be telling them. With my second son, sometimes I get that way, but I remind myself of his age, and am able to calm down.
