I wanted to share how incredilble may children are. They give me so much strength on days when I am having a lot of challenges. The other day I was working on some of the fundraising events, and my children wanted to help, so they went around the house and collected all the change they could find. When they where done, they brought it to me and told me it was for Arizona.
They also have labeled some of their toys with numbers. When I asked them what they where doing, they told me they are going to have a garage sale in our living room. They wanted to sell their toys to make money to go to Arizona, to help make my legs better. I just gave them HUGE hugs.... ohhh man I love them so much!!
I helped at Tyson's playschool for the first time this year, all I have to say is that I was soooo tired after... I could have slept for a week. It was so worth it!!! He was so excited, I was finally able to be a parent helper in his class. It was time for them to walk down to the washroom to wash their hands for snack. I was so exhausted, already have had made two trips there. Tyson grabbed one of my poles (I use to walk), handed it to me, took my other hand and said "come on Mom, I will help you". How do you say "no or I'm too tired" to that. I mustered up every once of energy I had, stood up and walked down with him. It really does not seem like a big deal, but to him it was so important. It felt so good, I can't wait to be able to do more with them.
Whenever I think this is to big of a challenge for me, I just remember these moments and it reminds me how bad I WANT MY HEALTH BACK!!! For my husband, children and most importantly for myself.
Kids can be our biggest source of our strength in times of being down. I'm happy that you were able to hang out with Tyson at his school!
