Loving Moo Plus 2: A Moment In Time

In the middle of the night Maddie spiked a fever of 102. Thoughts racing through my head of how many times is she going to get sick this school year? I was just sick to my stomach.....

This morning she seemed a little better after, diffusing oils, using them topically and of course a few rounds of Motrin to knock the fever out. I was happy. She was happy.

I was in her room, she was laying down and I was talking to her. I bent down and gave her little kisses. Her eyes lit up and then she started giggling. I was so excited she hasn't giggled like that in forever. She has the most infectious laugh and smile. She lights up a room. And my heart bursts with joy when I am with her. Good or bad days, she is my everything.

After a few minutes of shear joy the most I've had in a very long time. The kind of joy that comes from my soul, the kind of joy that most people should be so lucky to experience. In the midst of this brief moment, this fantastic moment, a damn seizure! The kill joy of all kill joys, stole our moment. As it has stolen so many moments of ours. The fact is seizures are the devil. They sneak up on you and change your life in a way you can't imagine. No matter how many times a day. Each seizure steals so much time. If you haven't been exposed to someone with seizures. I urge you to educate yourself. #epilepsyawareness #purpleribbonforepilepsy #lovingmooplus2

Deep breaths and prayers get us through these moments. We are so grateful for each second of the day. I am humbled by this life. And I am so blessed to have the gift of love and laughter.
