Our week has been so full. We have been enjoying having our family close with us during this time of year. Connor's counts have been up and are the highest yet, his total blood count was over 2,000 on his blood draw this week.
Connor has been enjoying (and probably wearing out) his family. He went bowling, to the movies and has been eating lots of yummy baked goodies. I wanted to send a heartfelt thanks to all the people that have thought of our family during the holidays. The kindness of all of the anonymous gifts has been so overwhelming. The cards, the gift baskets, and the homemade gifts were all so lovely.
I hope you find your heart full on this Christmas eve. I've been given a new pair of glasses this year that allows me to see the things that matter most. I see things that I have never seen before and I see things clearly that before were blurry. I can actually see the love that family, friends, and strangers share with my son. I see small things that don't matter so much, and small things that mean so very much. I hug a little more, I watch a little more, I experience life a little more. I cry a lot more, but I also love a lot more. Although I am more scared than I have ever been in my life, my heart is filled to the brim with love.
Thank you to everyone who has sent Connor a gift, a card, a thought or a prayer. Your well wishes, love and prayers keep our hope strong.
I wish you and all of yours a very Merry Christmas.
The best part of today: Loving life, Living life, hearing Connor laugh, seeing him smile and feeling his hugs.
Something funny he said today: My mom bought a cake from the bakery and it got a little smashed up in the box, she was trying to smooth out the frosting and Connor said, "Grandma you don't need to do that, just take it back and have them re-frost it."
