Tonight's picture was taken on Valentine's Day of 2009. Mattie surprised me with a crown of hearts and a box filled with Mattie creations. To this day, I still have this box and crown in our hallway closet. I will never forget that day, as Mattie worked hard on these items. I was literally removed from the child life playroom in the hospital for hours, so Mattie could create without me watching! When I was invited back into the room, Mattie's art therapist captured the moment you see here on camera for me.

Yesterday I clearly twisted my back the wrong way, and now I am dealing with non-stop muscle spasms. Thank goodness for Advil, otherwise I wouldn't be able to move at all. Should make for a fun day sitting still tomorrow on a cross country flight. It has been unseasonably cold in Los Angeles, I am talking about temperatures in 40's in the morning and night. Not to mention rain. I was very worried about my parent's house and the impending rain this week, but fortunately the forecast has changed and now they will only receive two days of rain, rather than a week's worth. Rain of any kind, is a major set back for the clean up and construction at the house. It is hard to leave as I know my presence makes a difference, if I only could split in half.
