so this is love.
This post should really be called 73,245,412 Reasons Why I Love Texas Children’s Hospital. A few weeks ago I got an email from a coordinator I work with quite a bit at Texas Children’s on special projects. She asked me if I would share Jenna with a group of clinicians one afternoon to better the [...]
It’s crazy how much changes in one year. And it’s just as crazy how much doesn’t change. January I wrote a post on What Makes a Rainbow, inspired by a sweet children’s book. February I got a glimpse of grace. In March, our highways and fields were visited by gorgeous bluebonnets. In April I was [...]
I can’t quite put my finger on it (seriously, I’ve tried) but Christmas just didn’t FEEL like Christmas. That is until Christmas Eve. I was wrapping gifts for my side of the family, as we (Pete, Bubby & I) had opened and exchanged gifts Christmas Eve morning because we knew Christmas Day would be full [...]
…and I think my brain is finally catching up and realizing my favorite holiday will be here before we know it! Today I started thinking about the things that make this time of year magical… … the smell of real Christmas trees … Josh Groban … decorating our tree {okay in a few weeks! ;) [...]
And just like that she’s gone. It’s a little hard for my brain to process even though we knew this day was coming for some time now. I know many of you have been following Nevaeh’s story for a while, and some of you even ask me from time to time about her. Tonight she [...]
Well friends, it’s Friday. How fast did this week go?? It’s like the closer Christmas gets, the faster the days just wizz by. Dear Time, slow down please, my brain can hardly process today! Anyhow- last Saturday we went to the Houston Zoo. We enjoyed it, minus the mosquito infestation (GROSS!). A kind stranger let [...]
All I can say is thank God for instagr.am. It’s gotta be one of the best apps in the whole wide WORLD. :] 1. Bubby in the moonwalk. 2. Me+Bubby. My new favorite top (found it on clearance at Target!) 3. The animal exhibit at Gallery Furniture. I never ever go in there, so it [...]
As I gather my thoughts for this ‘small miracles’ post, I am literally drained. But I am determined to celebrate hope, even on the yuckiest of days. Last night Pete and I went to visit Princess Nevaeh and her Daddy. At first we read books, many many books. After about 5-6 books I asked her [...]
Times like this I am so so thankful for my little blog. A place to gather my thoughts, spill out my heart, share bits of my life. And it amazes me that people want to read it. Thank you for not making me feel like I’m always talking to myself :) Tonight we went to [...]
… you’ve pretty much crushed my spirit. I think I’d like to fast forward to Christmas if it’s alright with you. But we all know Christmas won’t be the same this year. I got a glimpse of your sunset yesterday in the midst of utter chaos. It’s still crazy to me that the sun can [...]
We keep hearing bad news on top of more bad news about sweet Nevaeh’s state of health. I am sick to my stomach about it all. Physically sick. I long for Heaven. I won’t miss this world. The sweet moments- they tend to get crushed by the bitterness in life. The doctors… the medicines… the [...]
Something I read last week from Hope’s blog post has been rattling in my head for days. It’s about hope being more than a feeling. {Please be sure to check out her post here} I guess we do feel hope but when your world is turned upside down and the feeling of hope turns into [...]
I wish life really was like a box of chocolates. Where you could pick and choose. Wrinkle your nose at the ones you just don’t care to taste or try. You could choose the easy. The happy endings. Dream away nightmares. Wish away illness. Cure cancer with a drop of some pixie dust. Remember the [...]
Friends, I covet your prayers. Amy’s latest update on Nevaeh sent chills over me. What scared me the most was this line… I feel like Nevaeh is fading away in some way. Amy {Nevaeh’s mama} explains it in her post, but basically her little girl is tired. And that is saying A LOT. She is [...]
In a few words life has been happy and sad. I am bursting with happiness from Bubby’s tremendous progress in walking. I was getting worried he’d never want to walk! ;) He’s almost a pro. Almost. Happy because I finally got in my beautimous planner that keeps my crazy life a little organized. It makes [...]
