( 12:54 PM ) shut up christine
m and i have been together nearly 10 months
which i know isn't very long
but it feels even shorter, like a blink of an eye
i often experience moments of great gratitude for his presence in my life
but i am also aware of the temporary and fluid nature of things
nothing is permanent
in a fraction of a blink there could be a car crash or something and bam that person is gone! you never know.
so every minute we share is a blessing that i'm grateful for
today i found out that my severe anemia and fatigue are because i'm a carrier for thalassemia, a blood disorder that causes excessive destruction of red blood cells
in my case my red blood cells are just small and can't carry a lot of oxygen
no symptoms except the anemia, which i will take gladly
anyway, i had this conversation with m
and my doctor referred us for genetic counseling, in case we decide to have children
i just thought it was really sweet that he and i were talking about our babies
--babies that won't come for years and years, and may never come at all (blink of an eye!)
but here we are thinking about them and hoping the best for them
ps happy earth day
