This week my brain desperately wanted to explode.
But my heart did instead.
It is too full of gratitude, love, pride, and joy in this little girl.
I don't know if I can think of a stronger little girl.
I don't know if I could at 30, handle all the changes she has this week as well as she is.
In the hospital I lay awake every night thinking.
I think lots.
I think about how uncomfortable these "beds" are, but glad I can stay with Hailey.
I think about how loud and beepy hospitals are but glad I can be in the best of the best.
I think about how hard it is to have this disease but how blessed we are to have a name and expectations and a way to manage it.
I think about how perfect and fitting this year's family theme of courage is now.
But
I never wonder why because I already know...
Because she is strong.
Because she can be a light.
Because she can do anything.
And because I needed to spice my life up a little more.
and spicy it will be.

That's a sweet post Mel. Glad you have answers and know how to manage it. She seems like a great girl. She's got a great Mom too!
