There are moments/years in life that truly help shape and define you. I think I will always hold 2012 near and dear to my heart because it added to the army of angels surrounding our son and he continues to live better each day. And all I have to say to 2013 is....BRING IT.
Here we are at the close of another year, I can't believe how quickly time flies the older I get and how time can stand still simultaneously when someone you love is battling an illness. This past year we spent two whole months at home (February & September). All the other months we had at least one hospital stay at our time share in San Diego. If Kelptyn was not in the hospital then he had 1 to 3 doctor's appointments each week. We've had moments as a family that have brought us to our knees and moments that had us filled with joy. A roller coaster ride, indeed, 2012 has been. However, we end the year on a high because Kelptyn has now rebounded from his 11th surgical procedure (which was the worst one of all, seriously, worse than both his BMTs) and his bones from an Xray view point appear to be remodeling despite having donor cell counts jump all over the place per chimerism reports.

We are coming up to Kelptyns 2nd birthday soon and what a celebration that will be in all our hearts. I keep Kelptyns birthday picture from last year in my kitchen and say hello to him every day. So I may just be hinting for a new year 2 picture. Love to the "mighty" Grahams.
