good bye port

her port is out and look who is oh so happy.  funny the way she and i had grown attached to that port.  it was nerve racking to think about taking it out.  like saying goodbye to a dear old friend.  it has been with us from the start, to see it go was surprisingly emotional.

i know, i know, it was just a medical device on the right side of her chest.  but she would show it to me, we would talk about it.

this morning i found her (as i often do) looking through a box of pictures.  she loves to go through those boxes and ask about the people she does not know.  the picture she carried around with her today is one of my grandfather and grandmother with luke when he was a wee one.  love it.
