Another set back

Easter Day was beautiful and the children had a wonderful time hunting and decorating eggs.

With my dad in the hospital we have been running back and forward up into the late night and wee mornings.  This week as Gary went to carry Poppy to bed he tripped and lost balance.  He tried to move Poppy forward to keep from dropping her. 
Unfortunately her left leg moved behind Gary's back.  Gary's shoulder and arm hitting the ground.  Poppy not once cried as she hit her leg on the floor.  Gary's arm and shoulder swollen and bruised.  We checked Poppy out, no bruises, bleeding, nothing.  The following day her leg puffed up.  A quick trip to her Dr then to the ER to xray her leg and pelvis.  Her leg snapped into.  We spent the weekend in the hospital.  Had her leg set and finally home.    This pass weekend we had planned to fundraise
locally the funds we needed to travel on.  Gary's shoulder-rotar cup shattered and arm badly bruised.

Very hard to understand why bad things happen to good people and little children.  A 14 year old girl with a headache dies within three days of being diagnose with a rare form of cancer.  Her mother struggles to understand why her daughter had to be chosen to earn her wings.  So much potential, and such a beautiful young woman with the kindest heart.  Today I watched as my 5 year old daughter looks into a mirror and then ask if her doctor ...

Butterflies

Even old people get butterflies. As our newest little 9 year old points at the ceiling and out comes her first words in English to me. Butterflies Momma, Butterflies... In the dead of winter with temperatures of 20 below I stare at the ceiling.  Not thinking I look up. In the spilt second in time my mind wonders.  Even in an orphanage a child can have humor and imagination.  Maybe being caught off guard or in the moment it makes a person think. On the outside of this old worn out building a few dying bushes.  And from the street it looks like any other old building. The caregivers and other children inside are the only family they had for years. This is the only place our children knew as home. I love spring and soon butterflies will fill the air.  Maybe the Windows will open and a few of these fragile flying angels  will fly inside.  For many of these children seeing a butterflies will be only through a panel of glass. This year marks 2...
