24.

Today is my 24th birthday.
I'm home from work, sick with the worst flu that I've ever had.

But..

Grateful for a husband who takes such good care of me, rubs my back as I throw up into a garbage, and makes me laugh when I want to cry. Grateful to be able to spend the morning on the couch, watching a movie with Jared until he left for work.

Grateful for neighbors and friends offering to help. Grateful for birthday messages on Facebook that truly brighten my day. Grateful for phone calls, emails, and texts.

Grateful for the last four years I've had with my Aunt Deanne. Not a January 31st goes by without me celebrating her. She had a heart attack four years ago today and left the world for a short time and then came back to it. So grateful she did.

Deanne, Happy 4 years. They wouldn't have been the same without you here.
