Just wanted to share how my angel Ava made me cry this morning. You see, years ago I was hurt pretty bad in the Army. I've had 9 abdominal surgeries in the last 10 years an pretty much live in constant pain. But, it's something I've come to accept and have learned to live with. Well, Ava's health has been worse than normal these last few months. It just breaks my heart to see her living in so much pain.*
* * *Last night she wanted to go to bed early, so I was a little scared she might be getting a fever. *Well, on the way out the door this morning she gave me a long letter....I guess that's what she was doing in bed last night. The letter said thank you. She said she never realized how hard it is to do little every day things when you're in so much pain...but now she does. She said she didn't know how I managed to take care of them and make her feel better when my stomach is hurting me so much. She also said days that when she's feeling ok she promises she will help me more with the house and the younger kids.*
* I tell you, that child has a heart of gold. She made me feel like a million bucks. The letter also made me a little sad. My child shouldn't know how it feels...she shouldn't have to experience that. * Anyway, I just wanted to share why I'm a proud mom this morning.
