My personal heros

I want to give a shout out to my personal heros. . . .

There is a little girl who wears a 2 lb medication pump every second she is awake, then sleeps next to it every night.
Who is so so brave.
Who knows just what to do when we go to the hospital.
Who works so hard to catch up in language and reading.
Who manages to get sheer joy out of about every second of her life.
Who makes friends anywhere she goes.


Then . . . there is another little girl who runs interference for her little sister.

Works to help her learn to read.
Helps her with all kinds of kid stuff.
Puts her own needs second way too much - and hurts for it.
Who also knows what to do when we go to the hospital.
Who reads to Mom and Sister when they are sick.
Who works so so hard to be a contributor and make things right.
Who prays all the time her little sister will get well.


And the Dad who watches over them every day.
Even when the shenanigans of two very busy little girls wear him down
Who works with his daughters every day to teach them
Who lets them know every day how special and wonderful they are.
Who prays for and with them every night.
Who has to put his own anxiety for the future aside to maintain the present.


I have a very brave bunch living in my house.
