Fresh Air
Today we got out! First, we went to church. How nice it was to sit in God’s house and just reflect. We snuck in late and sat in the way back – the area that is roped off. A good place for us, out of reach, and an easy in-and-out without much notice. Even though we were unable to talk and hug friends, there was a peace about being among everyone from a distance. We left during the last song… all of us walking on air. It was really, really nice. AND, later we headed to the soccer park for Cameron’s last game of the season. Again, we sat to the side, but how nice it was to get outside on this spectacular day. The weather was perfect and it felt so good to get some fresh air! Jake actually got out of the stroller to walk a little. He hasn’t truly walked in weeks. I followed closely… part momma bear… mostly because someone has to hold his pump and fluids. H
e walked around for about 15 minutes – he was happy and it wore him OUT! After, he crawled in my lap and slept the rest of the game. And…drum roll… actually, how about sounding the team’s big antler horn… our soccer Ninja’s won! Way to go boys!!! This is a group of kids who have spent years together and what a pleasure it has been to sit on the sidelines with our soccer family and cheer them on and watch them grow up together. As we all parted today, they showered us with hugs and prayerful thoughts and a BIG basket of love from the team. Thank you for such wonderful gifts… we love you too!!! So, Jake grows a little stronger each day and our prayer family does too. XOXOTrackback from your site.

Thank you Laura. It was good to be there. I too, found myselft holding back tears a few times… part happiness, part exhaustion, part relief when you know you are where you’re supposed to be and that God has you, but you know there’s a battle waging. Jake was happy to be there and I’m glad you got to see a glimpse of his handsome smile. God Bless!

Im praying for Jake and your family! I saw him this am at church service as we sat a few pews behind you. It was hard to hold back the tears as a mommy myself, but “mom” you looked great! I even saw a smile from him as he looked over at my boys! I really want to help out your family anyway I can!
