January 13 is the anniversary of the day I went to Utah for treatment.  
Every year I am a bit out of sorts on January 13th.  Leading up to it I am usually a bit apprehensive- then the day dawns and I am irritable- reclusive- depressed- all sorts of of unpleasantness.
Today is no different.  I am short tempered and less than patient.  Getting out the door makes me a little overwhelmed.  It does not help that leading up to this I have had flash back dreams to Utah- about being trapped there and unable to come home.  My muscles are tense.  My back is tense- I am anxious.  I am on edge. 
I wonder if my parents approach this day with anxiety.  I wonder if they remember it the way I do? 
Of course- this treatment is what saved my life.  Without it I would probably died.  The importance of it cannot be understated.  Going there made me the mother I am.  The person I am. 
Thank you Mom and Dad for choosing this.  Thank you for not giving up on me- when I wanted to- when I had.  Thank you for not letting me go.

Oh, sorry E. I didn't realize it was this anniversary for you or I would've taken your kiddos for a little while or something...
So glad you made it through all of that...
