Home Sweet Home
Update: Oh my home sweet blessed home. After I wrote this post only an hour or so ago, I was reminded of some other moments, mine and others that put my so called moment of strength yesterday to shame. My mom gave me two of her angels from her angel collection to put with our family portrait to represent our angel babies, Adam and Charis. I miss my babies and hold Sarah that much tighter. I read through the recap on Kayliegh's memorial Service. You can read it if you click on her blog button on my side bar. I didn't cry yesterday. Today I did for Kayleigh. I read my dear friend April's blog as she shared her faith building experience being in the hospital as her daughter had surgery and the feelings it brought back when she was in the hospital with her baby, Eli. Right now, Eli, Kayliegh, Adam, Charis as well as Angel, Hope, and my baby cousin, Scott and Laura's daughter are dancing around Jesus thrown. After yesterday's journey I made it to my home sweet home and someday after this life's journey I will make it to my Home Sweet Blessed Home to embrace my babies and meet all their wonderful friends.
I am so thankful to be home after yesterday. I left my stroller at my parents house so I had to lug Sarah, her diaper bag and my enormous purse across the Atlanta airport only to get to my connection to see it pulling out of the gate. As my niece Tatum would say, "Ah Fooy" (I don't know how to spell that.) We ended up leaving out of Richmond at 9:50. I had such a migraine because I didn't get to eat. Sarah did however. I planned for such an event. Sarah by the way is a champ. She is a future pilot in training or flight attendant either one will work. She was perfect the whole time. She slept at the right time, entertained passengers and crew at the right time. It was such a blessing. I got a monster of a migraine on the last flight and Sarah just slept on the seat next to me. The flight attendant took such great care of us giving me extra snacks and a tomato drink (gross but good idea so I drank it) and a sprite. I may have over did the medicine a bit. Not having migraine medicine I just took three Tylonal on the plane and the two Ibuprofen at home. It did the trick though and I'm not dead yet so... Sarah went right to bed when Daddy put her down and she slept in until 7:30. Good thing for that time change. I fed her and then put her in bed with me so she cooed and wiggled while I snoozed a bit more. Some time today, Delta should be dropping off my suit case.
Today is another busy day so my good friends coffee, creamer, and a truck load of sugar are helping me get it started. :) I look at it this way. You never know how strong you are until you are in a situation you need the strength for. Yesterday I didn't die and Sarah came through unscathed so I must be pretty good (okay I almost cried in there a couple times but I didn't!). I just so it all as a challenge. That's a good survival technique. I don't want to know how strong I am for a good long time.
