Drew's 9th Birthday

Today was a hard day for this mama. I was in 2 places, but I desperately wanted to be in one. With all of my family together. Today my oldest son turned 9. And today my youngest son is fighting for his life in the ICU at Children's Hospital. My heart is divided and it is impossible to be in two places at once. But if I could, I would!!!

Drew you are a smart, handsome, compassionate young man and I am so blessed to be your mom! What a gift you are to me!! I hope that the gifts you received today helped to make you feel loved even though I was not able to spend the entire day with you. I am so glad that Daniel's nurse Brooke offered to care for him so I could join you for cake and ice cream!!! Even if I did have to wear a mask!! I LOVE you SO much!!! I hope that you have fun spending that Lego giftcard and eating up all of those butterfingers attached to your green balloon bouquet. I also have to say that I CANNOT believe your feet are almost as big as mine. can you PLEASE SLOW down in growing?!?! I LOVE you buddy and hope that even though we couldn't ALL be together you know how much you are LOVED by all of us!!!

If you want a button for people to post on their blogs, something like "pray for Daniel" (whatever you want on it), I'd be more than happy to make some for you (and post one on my blog). Just let me know, my email is whitneydarling@gmail.com
