Default April 23, one year ago

One year ago, my baby boys were born
nine weeks early,
one month after I was put in hospital,
Almost four months after I was put on bed rest.

Pregnancy didn't turn out the way it was supposed to...
I didn't have any baby showers,
or cute maternity clothes,
or fun decorating a nursery in eager anticipation.

Instead, it was a nightmare
of nausea and exhaustion,
repeated hospital incarcerations
and house arrest and boredom for weeks on end.

But through it all,
and the bleary eyed months since,
a group of friends I have never met
helped keep me sane.

They shared jokes
and stories about their dogs,
and web game sites
and recipes for soup.
They offerred to send me books to read,
and they took time out of their busy lives
to make me quilts.
Most importantly,
they listened to me rant,
and told me it was ok.

I've been too busy this past year,
to keep in close touch with them like I used to.
When I do have time,
I notice many names seem to be missing from the regular posters:
and I worry about what I've missed.
Even when I don't post though,
or get a chance to read RPDB
my friends are never far from my thoughts.
And if, in my too busyness of the last year, I have forgotten to say it:

Thank you all,
for being my friends.
