Make My Day ♡

"Friendship is like sunshine to the heart."
Last night, I was touched by an Angel Of Hope. She came by way of Michelle, who speaks to friendship in indescribable ways. I can only reiterate that I feel blessed beyond words, to have this incredible child in my life. There is no doubt that her most gracious parents have adequately inspired her. In a bit of respite from painful treatment, this is what Michelle does with her precious time. She sure made my day... one she was already a huge part of... you'll see...

Yesterday morning, Bri called me: "Mom, can you pick Aubs up? She is in the nurse's office with an upset stomach." Into school went I, to find my Girl Grand with the school nurse, who happens to be an old ski buddy I'd not seen in ages. I did not know of her position. We had a wonderful mini reunion, as she told Aubs, 
"See, I told you I know your g'ma."
"G'ma, is it okay to put my feet up?"
"Peace Flower" by Aubs

 A little playtime on my iPad's GlowColor app soothed Aubrey's tummy and allowed for some lunch. Then, what to do but whip out lots of craft supplies and create. With a little guidance, my girl made her first pair of Michelle's flippers. She did an awesome job! Then, it was on to coffee-filter flowers, using Crayola water-based markers. Go to (link) Amazon to check out the video for simple instructions; you'll want a tower.

This morning, Aubs called before heading to school, after a two-hour snow delay: "G'ma, I'm going to tell you something that I think will make you happy." "What's that, Sugar?" "Well, today we have Show 'n' Tell, and I'm bringing in the flippers we made, yesterday." "Honey, that is AWESOME. You made my day. Do you know what that means?" "It means that I made someone happy." "That's right! And isn't it something that I heard from Michelle, after you left..."

Make my day.... just

Aubs and I dedicate this to Michelle, with love.
