Milestones

18 months sounds a long time away when you first think about it, but the first real marker is 1 year and that arrived far too quickly, and 6 months doesnt sound like much time at all.

I knew that Holly would continue to decline and possibly from here on it would be at a greater pace, so I set a few mental milestones for us to get to.

The first one was Christmas, then her 11th Birthday in early March followed by Easter in late March and finally the 18 month mark on 4th April 2013.

I did briefly allow myself to think that maybe she might just make it to my birthday in May.

So having made it to one year we headded off on the next 6 months wondering what would happen and how far through it we would get.
