Friday Letters

Dear Children, we are supposed to be going to the Ranch with Gma and Papa, but that will not happen if any of you have a fever so you must be better today. ok. Dear Physical Therapy, you give me a headache, literally. I had to take Hazel and after the PT watched her cling and climb all over me like a monkey the whole time she looked at hazel and said I can't imagine why your mom would have neck problems. Dear Summer, you have turned out to be very busy. All I want to do is stay at home and relax for a day, although that is not what happens when we stay home. Dear Avary, your bones are still bruised, but healed. The Pediatric Specialist said that you have Severs Disease. After swimming you can barely walk and are in so much pain, it breaks my heart to see you hurt. More on this later. Dear Hazel, you scraped your toe, it was the end of the world as usual. I asked you how that happened you said "It is all because you make me eat too much food"!.....what? (4 1/2 and 37 lbs. and the pickiest eater on the planet) "if you didn't make me eat then my body would not make so much blood when you eat too much then your body has too much blood and your skin starts scraping off"!!! She yelled this at me in an accusing way as if I was just playing dumb. Better watch out at your next meal. Dear Kade, you have been so miserable with a cold. You are still funny though. I heard you yell from your bed "Curse this Blasted cold"! That is a very normal thing to say when you are 8yrs old I am sure. Dear Hailey, you are growing up. I am watching you want to know every thing for your self and want to understand everything. Every night you come in my room and and we talk about your 500 questions. I love this time with you I hope you never grow out of it. Dear Dad, you are the best man I know, I have spent my whole life being grateful and proud that you are my dad. You have been the best Grandpa to my children, they love you and depend on you so much. The time that we have spent living across the hall from you the past year is priceless to me. I love you. Dear Dr.'s, we are seeing way too much of you lately. Two of my peeps have fevers with no other explanation. And I actually had a fever, weird cause I can be on my death bed and still not have a fever. Makes no difference there is no one to take care of me, up and at em! Dear Self, it is the most heartbreaking thing to see my children hurt in anyway. Life is giving me some heavy burdens...again...still. The Lord either thinks I can handle it or He would like me to learn something...or both. I hate things that I cannot fix.
