A routine and no surprise visit to Costas today.... Madison has a mild gvh rash again, but all seems well! Over the next few weeks Madison will have more post transplant test, procedures, etc. to make sure she has no effects from the chemo she received in July. Madison has several teeth on the top trying to come in... I spent a good amount of our clinic time holding her and making the sssshhhhhh sound to get and keep her asleep... Madison is already 16 months old and I literally have no idea where time has gone. Although we are not in the ideal circumstance I am embracing all the snuggles and our time together... I've always wanted to know how many hours my mom spent singing to my brothers.... I guarantee if you asked them, "Sing the tune your mom sang when you were little." They would bust a tune! Today while Madison was sleeping I began to cry.... This season I've been stretched, tested, convicted, and so many other things....
The picture above I can see my mom... So much of who I am is because of her! My mom sacrificed so much to raise my siblings and I... the truth is she still is making sacrifices.... There just aren't enough words to explain how much she means to me! Mom took the kids to get pumpkins after school today. We all had a rough morning that pulled on our heart strings. The kids were planning on coming up tonight, but runny noses changed the plan. Nene decided to surprise the kids and take them to get pumpkins after school... They get to paint them tomorrow.

Sarah, sending love and prayers your way this evening! I can't imagine not having my mom... I always tell her we will grow old together, be in the nursing home together, and my kids will be taking care of us.... :) Love you!!!

Your mama sang. Your Aunt Wanita sang. Your Aunt Lawanda sang;) Your dad sang, too. AC/DC didn't really work out at bedtime though;)
