In a moment, that caused me to chuckle. I was sitting with my daughter. Who is now in the I-hate-everything-your-trying-to-do for me stage of her hospital visit. And doesn’t want to touch, be touched, and don’t even think about moving her. And, do to her inescapable cuteness is getting all of my attention right now. And, needless to say, she is so adorable [ love you pumpkin get well! ]
This past week, she has undergone open heart surgery. And I watch as she struggles and regains strength. It’s a uphill road, but she is doing great and I don’t fully know what to do. I’ve realized there are somethings that mothers are just the best at doing certain things. And, there is no joking right now with her, which is hard, nevertheless.
Every whale is important.
But dealing I must.
It’s interesting to be a third wheel right now. Awkward moments abound. But I focus, and it makes things all better knowing I get to love on my daughter.
[ love you every moment pumpkin! ]
During all of this, we put a poster up with all the cousins, aunts and uncles wishing good will, speedy recoveries and expressing a good sense of love from my family.
And then I saw a typo, a miss-spelling of sorts.
My nephew, who has a sense of humor, and wants to make things a bit lighthearted, attempted to declare,
“Save the whales!”
In all of his attempts at humor, he only added to it. And, did for once today, make me smile.
I say to you, “Yes my man, shave those whales!”
This made me chuckle too. Ahh, kids.
