Loving Moo Plus 2: How Many Ways I Love You

Lying here thinking of all the ways I love her. And the truth is I've lost count. Her strength to carry on gives me strength to just be and let be.

We are still on our trip. The girls begged to stay another day with their cousins and so here we are.

This trip has been rough on Moo. She has had outbursts of hitting me, biting herself, pulling my hair and screaming and crying. So at this moment I'm absorbing the silence. (Sure enough as I try to complete my thoughts. Moo had a thought to reach over and pinch me and pull my hair because she is irritated and in pain.)

While we have had some good moments and great memories made, it has been stressful. We had plans to have a mini reunion last night with friends and family and Maddie and I showed up an hour and a half late! We are lucky we made it. We showed up smelling like Bath and Body Works and the DōTERRA factory because I massaged her with all of it, hoping it would cure something, or maybe the touch of my hand as I prayed to God to make her pain go away. Friends said we "smelled good" and I was thinking "thank God" Momma sweats are in the building!!! 😓
My other babies, family and friends were waiting with open arms. All 20 of them! 💗

She lasted a good hour or so when we arrived and then I walked away for a second and she flipped out. I am grateful for friends who make sure she is loved when I can't be there and who took over when momma needed to be with the littlest who begged me all night to karaoke with her. I marveled at Moo and was reminded that she carries joy with her always and brings people together with love...

Thank you God for reminding me that life is not perfect and it's what we make of it. Enjoy the good times, the sad times will just consume you and take over every bit of who you are. Do I have weak moments? That's like saying rain doesn't exist.... I to have rainy days, but today I hope the Sun stays shining!!!! 🌞

I love you Moo!
