After the Nurses and Doctor Teams and Experts Step Away.
Once the IVs, Scans and X-rays finish the Day.
Just Before School and the World Enters the Fray.
It’s Mom. Just Mom. To Forge the Way.
Very Scary Flying Solo once the Support is Done.
It’s Mom who brings the Child Back into the Sun.
And I am So Very Proud to Be Mom.
But Can I Find Magic in This?
Yes. Lots.
A Family Coming Together, Stronger than Before.
A Young Woman who May Have Found her own Career Door.
The Younger Child who sees how Together we Fit.
Magic. True Magic. Flickers like the Candle We Lit.
One Day More to Rest. To Enjoy the Warmth of the Sun.
Before Work, School and Life Enriches Each One.
But a Reminder to Me. As a Wife and Mom to these Two.
Relish Moments of the Magic of I Love You.
A World Unto Itself
I have been thinking of you and often these past couple of days and hoping that the word you receive is the world you want. This post is so very beautiful and so powerful. It is one to bookmark and save for its poignancy, honesty and deep love. Still sending good thoughts your way and hoping things will be all right.
Thank you Jeanie – your kind thoughts mean so much to us. This has been very difficult but we are hoping for the best. Your kind words are filled with such reassuring warmth. Thank you.
We’ll be strong together, Buddy
I know. I know. It’s very hard, but I know.
If there is anything you need or that I can do please let me know.
Thank you Ling…
When the world is not right with one of our children, the rest of life fades into the background. I hope this painful experience has reached – or is close to – a happy resolution. I know what those long hours feel like – stretching into days and weeks – of fear and worry. My heart is with you.
Thank you for your kind words of support, Joanne. We are moving forward.
Super, You are a Special Mom, Great work and I am glad that All is Better!!!!!
Hi Alan – so good to hear from you. We are not quite there but moving in the light.
There’s nothing that makes a parent feel more inadequate, I think, as having to leave your child in someone else’s care at a hospital… Been there.
Calen – You are so correct. I had to stop myself from saying, let’s just get out of here…in fact, I did say that out loud…but she is receiving such wonderful care and getting stronger.
Aw this post is beautiful. I love how visual and expressive your pieces are.
Thank you for your kind words…trying to see the positives in all this…trying very hard.
Tell your daughter we are thinking of her from France.
I certainly will…all of this happened as we were planning our trip to France…she is studying French in school and doing very well and we thought it would be the perfect time to go…in June. 🙂
