SOUNDS OF LAUGHTER!
There's a lot of laughter outside my kitchen window tonight...The basketball is bouncing through the hoop, the kids are vying for the rebound and the screams of competition are ringing loudly-just the way I remember from days gone by.
Jake and Zack and yes-Ben are playing horse and playing hard and probably having the time of their lives-from the sounds of it.
I don't know if Ben is really supposed to be exerting so much energy or in his case calories...but-it's worth the joy that these kids are sharing after such a long haul through the desert of disease.
Friday is d-day...departure from the hospital program Ben has been entrenched in for the last couple of months. He's looking stronger, sounding healthier and talking about re-emerging into his high school schedule--although a little anxious and worried about the stress. But we'll take it one day at a time.
Ben went to a surprise Birthday party last night for some friends and spent the afternoon with another group of friends this afternoon...watching the Saints score another victory-bringing us one step closer to a winning season.
For me the mom, it's all about the hopeful highlights, even amid the darkest hours as long as we keep the faith and follow with hopeful trust and surrender the only possible solution to all of life's challengs...a power greater than ourselves-that never ceases to amaze me or let me down!
