LUCKY

So I had to actually be a Mom today.  This picture is not from today.  You can tell because it doesn't look like I've been punched in both of my eyes.  That's how I looked today after Alex got 2 shots.  She took it like a brave, brave warrior.  I took it like a little sissy girl.  

Then she sat in my lap the rest of the afternoon and cried and wimpered cuz she was so uncomfortable.  It absolutely broke my heart.  

I got to thinking again just how truly blessed we are to have a healthy child.  She is strong.  She is healthy.  WE ARE LUCKY.  

I just can't imagine the parents who have to really buck up and be strong for their kids who face much bigger challenges.  

Just counting my blessings that's all.  

Merry Christmas readers.
