Children...Natural Mood Enhancers!

Getting the news that someone you know has cancer is heart wrenching. Getting the news that a loved one has cancer is mind numbing. Getting the news your mother has cancer is earth shattering. Despite the news that has come to my family over the last two weeks, we are remaining extremely positive. The power of the mind is amazing and the power of prayer is miracle making. Russell and Sloane have been wonderful forces of positivity! Everyday they do something to make me laugh. I love to pass on their silly stories to my family. Laughter truly can be the best medicine!

Some silly stories to pass on:
1) While playing house, Russell informed Sloane that she had to have a baby in her stomach, but not to worry because the doctor would give her medicine to open her tummy and then stitches to make it better. They proceeded to act this out. It took an entire 5 seconds for Sloane to give birth to my first grandchild:-)
2) While playing with the Dora castle, Sloane happily laid out all her princess figures along with the furniture. Russell, playing along side her was working hard on castle security. He installed two robot guards along with a machine gun aiming out the top window.
3) I have been adding a few new items to our house (new pictures, lamps, pillows, etc.) Upon waking up one morning, Russell shouted, "Who keeps changing our house? I want it back to normal!" He is definitely a creature of habit!

I hope these stories brought more laughter to those I love! Keep smiling! Keep praying!

My Knight and Princess!
