I know that many people greatly appreciated the time and energy that my mother put into keeping everyone up to date concerning Patrick over this past month. We always give her a hard time that her right hand is a camera. In fact, her family nick-name is "The Mamarazzi"! Despite all this grief, however, I want her to know that I really appreciated all that she did for me and my family during this difficult time. She came all the way down here, sat around with me anxiously for weeks waiting for Patrick to come, sat with me (and then by herself) through the extreme anxiety of his birth, and then became my point of contact to all of my friends and family (even those she did not know) throughout his hospitalization. Thank you, Mom!
I thought that I would give her a tribute in a similar manner to how she blessed us. I've shuffled through my pictures of this past month, and have looked for the needles in the haystack - the pictures that showed the beautiful woman behind the camera... Mom. I love you. Thank you.
Love, Me
Thank you, dear Maria and family! I am, of course, wiping tears after reading this and looking at the pictures... for the most part they are good. It was quite a month and the outcome just strengthened my faith in HIM. I would be the happiest grandma/mother in the world, if we could all be together with Hallel in a week, but I guess there is a limit to the answers to prayers one person can receive. Jesus, thank you for answering the prayers for our precious Patrick and his family! Jesus, we trust in you. Bless-bless, mom/grandma
