My daughter’s friends from work told her today that they are taking care of the family meals throughout the weekend. Tonight, a big pan of lasagna, a plate of brownies, and some small treats for the kids. Tomorrow, a pot of spaghetti, etc.
I know that they have many many weeks of difficult times ahead, and that’s what I’m there for, to make sure they get meals and enough sleep. But for right now, this help is so welcome! This was a big shock for everyone.
The kids have been at school, and are doing well, but my daughter is looking forward to being home tonight to go through the bedtime routines with them, to bless ALL of them. I have done the best I could, praying with the kids, cuddline, etc., but when you’re worried, there’s NO ONE like Mom to help soothe the anxieties. The girls are going to visit for 5 mins tonight, just to see dad and give him small gifts. The oldest had appendicitis last year, so they know not to expect Dad to be “normal.”
I’ve gotten my dogs fed, changed clothes, and now I’m headed to their house. I’ll spend the night, that way when she wants to go back to the hospital to sit with Sam, she can.
Thanks again, everyone. Prayers are so welcome, and we are all grateful.
