Hospital Stay Journals: Death Anniversary

Matt's Journal - "Day 139": November 24, 2019
Well, here we are exactly 1 year later on the anniversary of my mother's death. The grandmother that my children will never meet. And unfortunately, today was not my prettiest day. I (again) asked Gabby if I could have the night at home alone...so that's where I am right now. I want to just take a breath and not have to worry about running into Antonio (he was coming to the hospital). But this just made things worse because I didn't have my girl to talk to. Sometimes, I was just confused as to what the right think to do was even. I am so confused.

But the girls are ok right now and that made me feel okay leaving them and Gabby at the hospital for the night. Anyways, Severide ended up coming over (his kids are still in the hospital so...Stella and Gabby have been together today too) and we had some beers while I spoke to him. While it was not the most exciting thing to do today...because I would much rather be thinking positive about our girls...I'm just glad that today's over and that we are one step closer to the girls coming home. The best news of all has to be that no neuro problems so far. All healthy.

It's truly a miracle that's even the case because of how early they were born. Then again, my kids are always resilient and I am so proud of my girls. They are the second and third loves of my life now and it's amazing. And even better, they let me get some sexy pics from Gabby today. Let's just say that daddy got some sexy pictures from his girl. More specifically, some sexy pictures of her pumping milk for our girls....and then staying braless. All I texted back was a nice pic of my package (without boxers) to show Gabby how much I liked that since it turned me on so much.

And let's just say that got a bit awkward when her brother saw it on her phone. Yeah...now that was an awkward conversation. But back to the more appropriate stuff I did today. Today, I got our room all set up with the girls' cribs and a bunch of teddy bears which I have been buying for them over the course of their stay. Well that...and people have been giving them to us. I swear, our friends are the best and I am so glad that they gave us those bears. But back to the girls...got I love them so much. Hannah and Sofia are just so adorable and growing every day.

And that's pretty much today in the world. Til' next time.
