Writing to Miranda on her mission
iiiHola, Hermana Madsen!!! Como esta el MTC??? iNo puedo esperar para escuchar todos tus sucesos!
So when we drove away from you, Dad lost it again, and could barely drive. He cried & processed all the way home, and while we were at the Scout store buying awards for pack meeting. He just kept saying: That's my little girl. That was too fast. She's gone, just like that. This isn't right. When he got to work, he told me that Alanna & Melissa asked him how it went, and he said he would talk to them about it next week. He kept texting during his shift and just saying that he still couldn't talk about it because he didn't want to break down in front of anyone.
Of course he was just processing all the feelings I had in August, and I was feeling what he felt in August: Go Boldly, Little One. Go get 'em. You got this. How exciting. =) And he woke up the next morning just fine, and said he was glad he got a chance to be sad and process it, and now he's going to be good. =) Very very very sweet Daddy. =)
So Wed night, after pack meeting, Morgan had a basketball game. It was one of those nail-biters, where they stayed ahead or behind only 2 points until they tied, then won in overtime. Morgan was on fire, and kept making all his shots... Proud Mommy.
And the anxious crowd:
Then that night, Derek got the laryngitis you & I had, but was also up with dad, sitting outside and in the shower with croup. Poor boy. Then Dad & Morgan went to the Bishop's cabin for the Teachers' Quorum snowmobiling trip Friday night, and Morgan spent Saturday night throwing up... he's still in bed recovering. =(
Carlie had Preference, and it was cute. We agreed that she would send the pics to you, but I don't think she'll include this one:
Today Pepper has a vet appointment. =( She has a growth on her jaw that has made all the hair stop growing around it... it's about 2/3 of an inch round. I really hope it's easy to fix. Poor kitty.
Oh I love you so much! I hope I conveyed that enough. I'm so proud of who you are. CANNOT WAIT to hear how things are going.
Love Mom
