Waiting....

Dr. Lou said in pre-op that the surgery should take 4 hours.  We are now going on 5.  No news yet.

Christmas in July. I am waiting for the Christmas tree in the far right box to change to some other unique shape.  While sitting in the waiting room I got this text.  Have you ever felt like you were the last one to figure something out?  

. 

I am finding as I sit here and look at pictures or read texts from friends, family, co-workers, Tessa's classmates I am reminded of how much she is loved.  Reminders are good and we all need them.  Things we know but maybe just need to hear from someone else just to affirm what you already know.  Reminders bring emotions on suddenly the moment you are halfway through the first sentence of a text or a phone call.  I have appreciated the reminders throughout this journey and especially these last few days.   The Christmas tree has changed on the screen!!!!  Got to go see my girl.
