Hey Ti...REMEMBER THE MUSIC-IT'S your own song!<br /><br />Hey Tim, I got half way through the top of your post for today and had to take a break for obvious reasons. <br />I just wanted to write and ask you to take time to remember your music. <br />I'm remembering a post you wrote from June or July, I think about the time on the lake when you say you went and sat at the end of the pier and played your flute at sunset. I'm also remembering the time you were in my husband's room playing in the background the day he left us to be with God. That music still is with me today. I can only imagine how beautiful the music on that lake must've sounded like and how you must've felt while playing it.<br />SOOTHING in my mind's ears. I pray that it is now resonating in yours and as you continue to journal and face your days you take time in your walks, on your way to Bella's room to remember the music Tim.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772435203140711186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-53159808325068273282010-10-04T20:47:55.505-07:002010-10-04T20:47:55.505-07:00Just here checking on Bella.

You face each day with so much grace, I am honored to be a part of the community that helps you vent. <br /><br />A story: My daughter Lea and 9 month old granddaughter Amaya left for California this morning, and I was feeling a little sad. They will only be away for a week, but I usually watch Amaya during the week, and I knew my days would be empty without her bright little self! I said a prayer for their safe flight, and then thought of Bella. I began my prayer for her, which started with: please, a healing for Bella...and then a voice cut me off, saying "Bella is healed". Do not believe because you can see it...see it because you believe it. What if our entire blog community pictures Bella healed...??

Of course.<br />LOVE LOVE LOVE the photo of Ali and Bella; isn't THAT what this is all about? Never ever lose sight of your goal - TWO beautiful healthy daughters! So happy you had time for a romp in the leaves - you DID rake them back up when you were done, right? I remember back in the "olden days", we (I'm #2 of 4 kids)would rake them up, transport them to the curb in front of our house and stand back as our dad burned them. Wow, we sure couldn't get away with that now.

I know the days probably run together when you're dealing with the hospital, but I hope that perhaps you can harness some of the energy of starting a new week with the promise it brings.<br /><br />Please know how much you are loved and supported...from near and far! You planted the seed (your blog) and look at the garden that has sprung up around you. A garden filled with lovely flowers (your blog friends) that hopefully give you support and something pretty to dwell on during difficult days.<br /><br />Take care, sweet family.

It's an achievement - even if it's not the one we had all planned/hoped for! Bella keep fighting and showing your strength - although next time, you might let your Daddy win the arm wrestling match - you don't want to embarrass him in front of Lori! :-) <br /><br />Bella I recently shared your story on my blog with all of my friends and I know for a fact that you know have a few more virtual friends that are so inspired by you and check in on you every day and pray for you and the entire family - just like I do!<br /><br />Our weekend here in KS was a busy one!
