It'S tHe LiTtLe ThInGs

There are many times that I should be writing all of this down and I did in the beginning of this mess, as life goes more and more back to "normal" I just have THAT moment, I enjoy it, and then think that I will actually remember tell it to everyone later. 

Do you think that actually happens, NO! I am actually lucky if I can get it out to a few family members or a close friend or two! 

Well tonight I enjoyed a moment....

Let me warn you that everyone else (except me and also Jeremy Jones who may remember some of the conversations he shared with Aaron) may think this little thing may sound really silly. It may not mean much. To me it is a small reminder that even though our lives have been changed, Aaron hasn't. 

I will start by telling you about how Aaron's rehab is remodeling, in fact they have been remodeling for months. I can not wait until they finally finish! Aaron's room has moved more times than I want to count, the dining room is squeezed into the middle of the day room, and we are currently locked out of the outdoor area. However, one nice change is that they have added a nice little library (or bookstore as Aaron called it tonight). It is down the hall from Aaron's room, near the newest wing. It's an area not traveled too much by either Aaron or myself. I have passed it and it's a nice area, full of many different books, a fireplace, and a computer station. I have mentioned it to Aaron thinking he may take advantage of it but to my knowledge he hasn't shown much interest. 

Tonight I walk into Aaron's room and find this on his night stand...

Aaron's reading glasses (that he rarely wears but has had since before his accident happened) AND a book by one of Aaron's favorite authors. 

Talk about making your heart smile! Just a little thing to remind me that some things haven't changed. 

And while we are on the subject, here are a few other little things that I have to look forward to everyday:

1. 16 + phone calls from a certain someone just because he wants to talk to ME!

2. A request for a Diet Coke on my way over! 

3. A huge smile and "thank you" when I bring the laundry basket full of clean clothes with me! (And yes this could happen everyday!) 

4. One last call or text before bed to say "goodnight"!
