I have been looking through quotes to find the right words.
I have looked through George H.W Bush’s repertoire to state how I feel. RIP 41.
And I found the quote about broccoli. But I like broccoli.
And then as I started to write this post, Hubs put on The Who and the song The Kids are Alright came on.
The Kids are Alright. And that is it.
Miracles for Mito hosted a Christmas Party today. It was a great day! We were at the Anchor Center for Blind Children which is an amazing place. Samantha was a student there and everytime we host a party, I feel a tad nostalgic. My nephews joined us today. They ran up and gave me a hug.
“Isn’t this a cool place?” I said. “Samantha went to school here.”
“She was so lucky! She had a ball pit!” Said one of the Phews.
And that got me all teary.
But the Kids are Alright.
Today every kiddo got a present. We had amazing food compliments of Angela and Matt. Our docs talked about what we are doing here in Colorado. And really, we are doing some cool things
Here is our doc talking about current research. I love this community.
I MAY have been related to Santa and Mrs. Claus today. Jim, my stepdad stepped up to be Santa and he was amazing. Mama Judi was Mrs. Claus. We talked about being Santa last week.
“You got this,” I said to Jim. “Just be Samantha’s Santa.”
And he was. He went up to every kiddo in a wheelchair who could not come to him. He talked to them, held their hand….Missy Moo was proud.
And The Kids are Alright
It is hard to put into words……this devastating disease, this strapped community, our own personal grief……and come out on the other side with hope, love and and overwhelming sense of gratitude.
But thats how today was. My heart is so full. You all are amazing. And if we have nothing else, I guess we have each other, and tonight? That is enough.
This Kid is Alright
Thank you. Seriously. Thank you
