Patience literally wearing off...

Shortly after William's diagnosis, my mom gave me this bracelet that she bought from Maureen's Hope.  She, my sister and myself all have matching bracelets.  It has a hope, strength, love, courage and patience bead. I had worn it every day, often never taking it off. 

Day 6 in the PICU, I looked down at my bracelet and realized my "patience" bead was literally wearing off its beautiful, shiny, silver finish... leaving a dull, ugly tarnish.  It was the only bead that this was happening to....
There are moments in life that small symbolisms speak louder than words ever can.

Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy.
