These past few weeks have been rather difficult, we have been stretched in ways we never thought we could handle yet here we are slowly paving our way through this unfamiliar terrain.
We get on a plane early Monday morning and head to sick kids in Toronto for Declan’s liver transplant assessment. We would be lying if we said we are handling this well, all of us are struggling, shifting responsibility and exploring new to us roles has had its highs and lows.
I am eager to get our sweet boy well, and although I know this year is going to be a difficult one for all of us we will continue to love and learn and grow in these new unpredictable roles, for only when you step out if yourself do you truly see what your made of.
Potters clay, dark musty ugly old clay. That’s where we are.
Mold me into the wife and mother you have ordained me to be, I am but this simple clay spinning round and round hoping to one day become a beautiful work of art.
It sounds like a “one foot in front of the other” time to get through the day. That beautiful is so worth it and you are an inspiration.
Keep clinging to your faith. Thanks for your honesty, nobody expects you to handle a situation like this without struggles. Praying for your family daily. xo
Mel your writing is clear, beautiful and honest. Just like you. You are our work of art, and we appreciate you more with each day. Will see you soon, for in person hugs
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We love you Melissa, Tim, Sydney and Declan and
pray for you daily.
Praying for all 4 of you! God will see you through this and someday it will all be a far off memory as you watch Declan run and play and grow into a fine young man.
Thinking and praying for you all.
Love you,
Your cuz
Sent you off with positive thoughts as your Toronto journey begins together. Just take it all day by day
