8 months ago today Mom...hard to believe isn't it? I am sure to you time is standing still so it seems like only a split second has passed. That's a good thing I guess, if you have no sorrow, pain. This time last year Tay was in the hospital. She had exploratory surgery, her appendix removed and her shunt revised. You took care of all the little daycare kids and put in some pretty long hours. Who would have known what was brewing inside you. You seemed so healthy then. It's amazing how suddenly things can turn. If you were here today Mom, you'd be home working in your yard I am sure! It is absolutely beautiful out! You would have loved this day! I am sure your yard is a mess, you certainly wouldn't be too proud of it right now. Tay goes back to the Dr next week. We have a lot of visits over the next 2 weeks. She's doing fine though Mom...these are just routine visits, 2 with Dr Droste, to make sure her little eye is healing, 1 with her ear specialist and then the other is for chemo. I took her out yesterday for a swing ride. She was out pretty long. She did get a little 'gaggy' in her swing, but I think she may have gotten to warm and then the swinging motion on top of that...would have made me nauseous too. Bry LOVES it outside! He'd stay out all day long if we let him. Dale is good to take him out. He goes for walks and wagon rides with him. He just bought some sand to fill his sandbox with yesterday. He loves playing in there! Gets a mess though...oh well, he's washable. I miss you so much Mom! I sooo wish you were here!Mother's Day is next month. All these damn days/events to get thru!! I tell you Mom...it's a good thing I feel you around me like I do. I don't know if I could get thru them if I didn't!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!! (((((((HUGS)))))) ******KISSES*****
