2009 - 2010 A Timeline
I like to journal for a variety of reasons. I have multiple journals for different subjects, and one thing journaling has always done for me is help me keep track of details. I did not make baby books for my kids. Instead, I kept journals for each of them. Ryan’s is the sketchiest because he was born so close to the car accident, but those journals still matter. I can look back through them to keep facts straight, remember the details of special events, see how far we have come, see how overwhelming things really were, and recognize what God brought me — and all of us — through. From time to time, I have used those journals to put together timelines. Sometimes, when I have done that, I have noticed patterns that helped me better understand something. I am now going to create a timeline with the main focus on 2009–2010, when my son Alex was physically struggling so badly. No one has endured Alex’s physical struggles except Alex himself. No one. I am with him all the time...
