I just spent several minutes re-reading some of the old posts from 2009 and 2010. They're not as bad as I remembered. Most of them are readable...of course I'm kicking myself for not having continued this. But as indicated in the previous post, daily life took over. And why dwell on the past?
Just the same: I hate the fact that I've already lost so many moments from his life as a toddler, preschooler, kindergartener...will make a point of trying to remember some of them in a separate journal (again, the point here is not to catalog my son's triumphs and accomplishments, nor his cute statements which are only really precious to a parent, it's to explore what it means to combine motherhood with artistic pursuits, particularly as an older mother who is frequently overwhelmed with fatigue).
I will have to find a way to accept what's happened...for everyone's sake but especially for my own.
