Just realized it's been 18 months since my daughter's placement, and I'm actually okay today.

How do you even measure that? I spent a whole year thinking a good day meant I didn't cry in the grocery store. Now a good day is just a normal Tuesday where I forget to be sad about it. It's a weird feeling, like your heart finally learned to walk on a broken leg.

But that's just moving the goalposts, isn't it? You went from needing a big win to get through the day to now calling basic function a win. It sounds less like healing and more like you're just getting used to the pain being there all the time. Forgetting to be sad isn't the same thing as not being sad.
