And we love you lots, too, Sweet Girl. |
Ah, we all know that some weeks can be brutal... mentally and physically challenging in ways that we don't always anticipate. And then, in strolls Michelle, reminding us that cancer isn't pretty and things could sure be worse. Though I've mentioned time and time again that the grace possessed by this gorgeous girl and her family is unsurpassed, I'm afraid you'll have to listen, yet again. Nothing to apologize for here; some things
warrant repetition.
When the mail arrived, yesterday, it felt like my birthday. All I can say is, "WOW!" Joe and I were floored. Michelle took the time to share another chapter of her life, via a long letter and photos. Yet again, our home is brightened by her gifts of sunshine and an invitation to her postponed party of last July.
And she thanked Gav for his gift of thoughtfulness...
And she thanked Gav for his gift of thoughtfulness...
During the KidGrand circus-weekend sleepover, you might recall that Aubs busily spread some of her own (link) Sunday sunshine. At that time, Gav disappeared, popping up now and again to ask, "Where is the Scotch tape, G'ma?" and other applicable questions. I must interject here that he loves business calling cards and actually carries an inch-thick pile of them, in his pocket. Okay, with that in mind, he'd helped himself to my stash of flipper cards and proceeded to make the poster pictured... this without suggestion or prompting... precious!
So, imagine along with me... the kid with cancer is sending us gifts of appreciation for merely holding her in our hearts and thoughts and prayers.
"In every heart there is a room... A sanctuary safe and strong...
And so it goes and so it goes..." (BJ)
