In preperation for Bryse's surgery we had a short, kid-friendly book to read on line telling us what to expect. I read it by myself first and cried when it got to the part where the child said goodbye to mommy and walked away with the strange nurse into the OR. Our favorite thing about the book was that we found out that Bryse could take her favorite stuffed animal or blankie with her. Well, puppy is hands down her favorite, hence her full name: Puppy Chow My Favorite (puppy is a girl, as I am so often reminded of). So that made both her and I feel better. But I wanted to go back there too! So I started thinking... Whenever we send daddy a box of goodies and colored pictures we include a picture that says Sealed With a Kiss and we all put some bright red lipstick on and kiss it and put it in the box last. That way it feels like we all sent him a kiss. (Btw, even Cal does this, even though every single time he says "NO!". But somehow at the last minute he just has to send daddy a kiss and puts that lipstick on!) So thinking on this problem I came up with the idea of sewing a mama kiss on Puppy to go with Bryse in the OR. She picked a fabric, I painted my lips with read tempera paint and kissed the fabric, we cut it out like a heart, and sewed it onto Puppy's back right where Bryse told me to. By the way, the injury up by her left ear is from the time that Bryse decided that Puppy had lost too much weight and needed more stuffing. I helped Bryse very little on that project! I just ripped the seam and she did the rest, stuffing her and sewing her back up all by herself.
And, on a side note, today is Robert's 32nd birthday! Happy Birthday, My Man!!! Love you and miss you.
