A quick word

Well tomorrow is Ella's big surgery day. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. It's a very scary situation putting your childs care into someone elses hands. If you know my mothering style this rarely happens and when it does I call at least 3 times. To not have any control or say so in that operating room completely puts me in a state of high anxiety. So far no tears but it is early. I keep telling myself to be strong and that it will all be ok. I somehow sense Aunt Deb's spirit with me. Whenever I really need to be strong and not cry I think of her. She's always been the one thing in life that makes me hold my chin high up. Maybe thats why God gave her to me as a godmother. She once said to me whenever I need her look up at the sky and know she's looking at the same stars. Then hold out your arms and she will hug me from far away.



Here's to looking up at those stars and getting a hug from far away.



P.S. Thank you to Mom and Michelle for being there for all of us. And especially for being the best grandma and aunt any child could have. Thank you God for blessing me with these two very special women.
