I was good at blogging once

Honestly. 

I did okay, at least. 

But every time, hatchling no7 ends up in hospital, it feels nearly impossible. 

And I loose a month, as the hole that was blown open by her being ill.

It takes time to heal enough to be happy. To feel allowed to feel happy. 

So here we sit, waiting for our wee warrior hatchling get back to being her best. 

Then hopefully we can get home and make some happier memories. 

Happy 12th birthday hatchling no 2

A heart of gold, 

And stardust soul, 

You are so beautiful! 

Thank you for being our hatchling. 

Going to be a drummer

A special child

You weren't like other children

And God was well aware

You would need a loving family 

With love enough to share

And so he sent you to us

And much to our surprise 

You haven't been a challenge 

But a blessing in disguise

Your winning smiles and laughter 

The pleasure you impart

Far out weigh your special needs

And melt the coldest heart

And we are proud that we have been chosen 

To help you learn and grow 

The joy that you have brought us

Is more than you can know 

A precious gift from heaven 

A treasure from above

A child who has taught us many things 

But most of all real love.
