Tonight we are celebrating! Cathy is back home recovering very well from surgery.
Perhaps Carrigan said it best "Mommy I happy you home" and then proceeded to do several somersaults - well, the type of somersaults that 2-1/2 year olds do. Carrigan has handled this very well. Fortunately, we were able to call Cathy on the phone pretty much whenever Carrigan would ask for her or start crying for her. She would immediately begin to smile and go back to playing / making a mess. I don't think I can put into words how much tonight means to us all after seven days apart while Cathy was in the hospital.
Often when Cathy, Carrigan and I lay in bed together to cuddle she will put her arms around our necks and pull us so all of our heads are touching and will say "happy family". Over the past 7 days when I would say "happy family" she would say, "No, mommy not here". Tonight she said "Happy family" again.
This is so beautiful. A child expressing what makes a 'happy family' simply put is - when Mommy is home and the three of you are together. My family will keep you all in our prayers. We'll follow the blog. God bless you on this journey.
