Don't cha just love those St. Jude commercials?
"Be grateful for the healthy children in your life and give to those who are not."
Or something like that.
Gets me.
A lot like every Hallmark made for TV movie ever made. And let's go ahead and throw in the Hallmark commercials during the movie too.
I'm a sucker for sappy stuff.
The holidays make it worse. Having Pumpkin hasn't really helped that. Now I see all the commercials with babies and kids and think about the moment she comes to wake us up at 4:18 am because SANTA CAME!!!
Which I may or may not have done to my parents on Easter morning.
And in case your wondering, Easter morning is not the same as Christmas morning. According to my dad. The only person who counted at the moment.
So I watch those commercials and think about our sweet little girl. The presents she'll get. The hours Santa and his Elves (there will be Elves helping, right?) will spend putting the toys together. Her excitement as she runs into the room and slides into the Christmas tree.
No where in my holiday dreams, is there a sick little Pumpkin. Or even a recovering one.
But for so many, that's a reality.
Several months ago, I introduced you to Abigail. She is doing so well. Really. Her most recent tests were wonderful. Many reasons to celebrate. But tonight she is getting ready for surgery tomorrow morning.
I can't even imagine.
So I come again asking for prayers. Even if you don't read this until tomorrow or a week from now, please say a prayer for this precious little girl.
Check out how much she's grown!
As cliche as it may sound, today I am in fact very grateful for the healthy baby in our life and giving prayers for healing to this sweet child who is not as healthy.
Much love, Abigail!
