After a lovely evening with friends, Hubby, Samantha and I got home just in time to welcome the new year.
Hubby and I lit a candle and opened the front door to let out 2009 and bring in 2010.
“Goodbye 2009,” I said.
“It was a pretty good year,” said Hubby.
And we blew out the candle.
I love this man who can endure so many TCH stays and still consider it a good year. He is my silent muse and reminds me of what is important.
To health, to family, to friends and to finding the good.
Happy 2010
Welcome to Samsmom. I'm Heather and this is my journey as we navigate love, loss, rare disease, hope and resilency. Our family carries a POLG-1 genetic mutation that took my two children, Jack and Samantha and most recently, my brother Ryan. It's not an easy place to be, but here we are- with humor, love and grace, here we are. 
Happy 2010 Schichtel's! Looking forward to many more smiles and laughter with you all!
