Last night we sat the kids for Family Home Evening to talk about whats going to happen over the next couple months. We shared with them our new Family Motto "WE CAN DO HARD THINGS" We talked a lot about how people a long time ago had to do hard things. Really tough things, which makes our life these days seem very easy. But we also said that Heavenly Father gives everyone trials. Life isn't meant to be easy, we are faced with challenges everyday. This is a big trial not only Lily's life, but our whole family. Connor and Dallin have been so great through all these years, but I can see the worry in their eyes. Connor can get very protective and sad about Lily, so I pray and hope that he will be ok.
In one week from now, we'll be checking into the hospital for pre-op stuff. I'm starting to go through all the paperwork and checklists. It's VERY overwhelming. I'm trying to keep my head above water through all this, but its scary. It's hard reading about the pre and post op care stuff, because it looks terrible. And I hate that Lily has to go through it. I wish so badly that I could just trade bodies with her for the next two months. I worry less about the actual surgery and more about what will come after. Lately I've just been tearing up random times throughout the day, cause I'll get some sort of reminder and my mind goes to this really sad place. But I have to shake it off, and be strong. WE all have to be strong for Lily. I can do hard things, and so can she. We don't have a choice. Sometimes we have to walk through the storm to get to the other side.
