So today was different...lots and lots of work to do..well lets go back to yesterday...I had to request a meeting with Riley and Savannah's principal. It seems Rileys grades are starting to slip...dont know if it is just the age...all of the different things happening in his life (back and forth from Dad's) or what but he is becoming very careless with his school work and remembering stuff. He has been up and down with his sugars which might have a little something to do with it as well.
Of course I start crying in the principals office...boo hooo....we talked about plans to make it as easy as possible on the kids for the next few months give or take.
Today just more and more work..the kids rode the bus for the first time. They loved it! It will be much easier on me not having to worry about driving them to and from everyday.
Skip to about 7 pm when I decided to take the kids to Peter Piper Pizza...So many people there. I noticed this huge party of like 3 large long tables..I thought to myself wow that is going to be a big bill..then all of a sudden a huge eruption of applause and screaming. Me and gwen looked up and this little boy could not have been more than 10 (Rileys age) was walking in and he was obviously surprised. He began weeping and many of the adults at the table began weeping as well...so of course me and Gwen started crying...I did not ask what the situation was because I could not muster up any courage..but I saw people wearing silver ribbons and the little boy had no hair and then there were others at the table kids ..some girls that had no hair and I knew. I started to cry even more. This little boy had obviously been through a lot and there were all of his friends and family that were there by his side.
I dont know any details...but all I could think was if this little boy could do it and still put on a smile..that I am going to have no problem...I wanted to go up and hug him...but I was paralyzed by my own fears.
So little boy in the Peter Piper Pizza..Thank you!

ReplyDeleteVictoria, this made me cry too. These poor little kids that get cancer are a true inspiration to all of us, and I firmly believe you saw this for a reason.
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine the anxiety you must feel, and it must be so hard to be worrying about getting your kids through this. You WILL beat this and I will be sure to keep you in my daily prayers. I think it is so great and HEALTHY for you to keep this blog and document the details of what you are going through. Much love and support coming your way. MUAH! Love you....Jen
