Graham is back at Baylor - more on that to come - and since Friday night, Jordy has opted to spend the night with her Daddy. And since there is no room at the Inn for the Mommy, I got to go home and sleep in my own bed, and spoon the dog! It was a win, win, WIN, situation on all accounts. The first morning, I was too anxious that she would drive Graham insane and I was up in the room before either Sleeping Beauty arrived. 2nd morning, I waited...and waited....then about 10am I finally caved to see how it was going. In Grahams words, "fantastic, awesome, she's being so good." And this was Father's Day...she had plans. A dear friend gave her an art canvas with colors - each color meaning something different to remember her Daddy by. Another friend gave us the idea to paint hands; therefore she could hold Daddy's hand anytime she wanted (yep - sentimental bawling happen a lot with this one). Jordy had big plans to complete this today. We have some finishing touches to make on the project but it turned out perfect. It brings tears to my eyes every time I see it or think of it.
The 2 of them needed this weekend. Graham needed it to feel complete and Jordy needed it to build memories. Another slumber party is planned for tonight. This just might be the night I run home and bawl my eyes out. As Jordy and I keep saying, "Our life sucks right now, and by golly, it's OK that we break down ever so often."
Please pray for our Jay...she is having to be too strong for an 8 year old.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO THE BEST DADDY WE COULD HAVE EVER DREAMED OF!!! |
