It was 4 years ago this week that I was in ICU, listed in critical condition as a small winter storm named Snowmageddon dumped 30″ of snow on us.
This morning, we woke up to another storm that has dumped 13+ inches on us so far with more expected to hit this afternoon.
Unlike 4 years ago…
I am at home…
I have the perfect amount of blood clots in my body….
I am not fighting for my life….
I am spending the day relaxing and enjoying my family….
This snowstorm, I was able to be the one taking the pics and seeing these AMAZING moments first hand.
4 years ago, I was sent the pics via text messages and emails.
I thought I would share some of the pics of our morning with you….
I HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM!
