Oh to have the dilemmas of childhood. Last night I received an urgent phone call from Hannah. Scott just returned from a business trip in Chicago and had brought home two stuffed animals, one for Lydia (our niece) and one for Hannah. Leave it to a guy to get two different stuffed animals and then give the child the opportunity to choose only ONE for herself.
Hannah had to choose between a kitty and a monkey and didn't know what to do. She wanted me to help her and wanted to send me a picture right then so I could see the two stuffed animals. I was already in bed with my feeding tube connected, but I could tell this was very important to her, so I called my mom to ask if she could please bring my computer so I could see these two choices. How do you choose between two adorable stuffed animals? (I could feel Hannah's anxiety.)The rational adult in me suggested she choose the monkey because she already has several cats, but, of course, she was leaning toward the kitty and was disappointed with my answer. When I spoke to Scott this morning, she still had not made a decision. Don't I wish that was my biggest worry these days, what stuffed animal to choose!
Scott also sent me a picture of my little Sweet Pea, so I thought I would share that as well. I miss my animals a lot! They have been wonderful companions while I have been home bound with my illness. Pets are GREAT!I think we will take down the Christmas decorations today. It is sad, but it is also time to move forward, one more baby step in my current life adventure.
My love to you all! Nancy

Oh to be a child again and to agonize over such HARD decisions! At least Hannah is putting a lot of thought into it! Cute story! I wonder which one she will choose?!
Hope you have a great day and take another baby step toward your recovery. Thinking of you always!
I love you!
