This has been a hard week. But on Tuesday, one of the hardest days I have had, I just prayed that the next day could be better. There were so many outpourings of love and support, that the difference yesterday was something to behold. So I wanted to thank everyone of you for the kind words, the calls, the texts, the beautiful bouquet of flowers, and for the sweet angel, who also happens to be my sister, who came over and cleaned my house with me. Last night, as I was lying awake, I truly had tears of gratitude for the amazing people in my life. Every comment, every word of encouragement truly gets us through these harder times. I am so grateful for the positive forces in my life.
I am so excited to have Collin blessed this Sunday. This is such a huge thing for Mike and I, where Lilly and Ryker were both blessed in the hospital. I have been looking for a nice dress, which did not make a lot of sense to Mike. I think the reason I want to look nice is because this is such a big deal to me. With Lilly, I had just had surgery and was wearing a hospital gown when she was blessed. With Ryker, I had just worked the night before and slept for only two hours when we had headed up to Primary's to see Ryker be extubated. And I was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt. I guess it is silly, but it just is such a big step for our family. There just really is so much to be grateful for this holiday season, and I cannot wait to spend such a joyous time of year with our families, and make special memories with sweet Collin!
