Just reflecting

I have been sitting here thinking and it just hit me that I have so much to be thankful for. As I sit back and reflect on the way things were in my rad world not even a year ago I realized that I havent heard the ugly words my little guy used to say so often. "I hate you grandma", Youre stupid", Shut-up", "You cant make me", "Im gonna kill you". I havent seen the anger in his little eyes, the defiance in his looks.
God I thought I would never get past those days. Its been a week or more since I have seen my little guy and I miss him more than words can ever express, but I am so thankful for the behaviors I dont see anymore and could live a life time without seeing them again.
