Here are some pics from yesterday and today. We ran over to the mall to the Paradise Valley mall playland. It is very HARD to track Kirra there. If you've taken her...you know exactly what I am talking about!! She ran out of sight so many times.... Other strangers helping me find her. So stressful! One time it took at least 5 minutes to find her and I was already thinking about the search going out. At our mall's playland OUTSIDE of it there are more rides and a HUGE choo choo train driving through the mall. This can distract Kirra to say the least. I am watching Baili, my purse, our bags, stroller, and Kirra. If I take my eyes off Kirra for a second sometimes she is gone! So scary...we made it home safe and sound. She always fights me too when we have to leave. Like a big fight. Oh well. Everything for both girls lately is I DO IT MYSELF!!! Like if I carry them to the car. They need (Kirra) at least has to go back inside and do the whole deal herself! Everything she has to try it or do it herself. Very independent around here. Both girls copy each other like little birds. So funny... I said push up your sleeves before you eat so you don't make a mess. Baili has to push hers up for ten minutes too, even though she has a t shirt on with no sleeves, ha. I just say whatever.
Okay the reason for the post... I have a cousin probably many with twins. But this one is my Mom's cousin's daughter's daughter. I think? Anyhow one of her twins has cancer on the spine. I think she is 5. Her name is Emma. She had it young like at 1 or 2. They removed it. It came back. I think they have to remove it again if successful. Then chemo for a year and then wear a brace until she is 13. If she makes it. She also has two other kids (one twin boy and a younger one). So I am told by others in the family. It is very bad and not a lot of hope. So if you are reading this and can say a prayer for my little cousin Emma who is a twin who is only 5, thank you. This story reminded me of the movie with Julia Roberts (she was the step mom) and the Mom with cancer. I can't think of the name of the movie right now. But how the whole family was brought together after so much anger and hate. To not forget about the small stuff. Like the gift of life. If you have something going on in your life that makes you upset really think about it. Think of Emma who has no choice. Think of the movie Step Mom (I just remembered the name) when she road away on horses with her kids in the middle of the night to watch the snow fall on them. Because it was something she always dreamed of. I know that is just a movie but Emma's life is real. That movie was based off of a true story. Hugs your kids. Tell your family you love them.
Anyway just sad. I can't imagine what my cousin is feeling. Worst thing to happen to anyone is to lose a child. I pray Emma makes it but we just don't know. So I took this picture of my darlings this am (on the top). I am so THANKFUL to God for giving me my two healthy twins. I am so lucky and they are so lucky to have my family, their Daddy, their Daddy's family, and I take care of them and LOVE them so much!
Thank you God for my babies and please be there for my cousin and her other kids and family to get through this...tough time. My Mom lost her twin boys in 1985 and really she was a changed person after that happened to her. I pray for Emma.
Remember if you have problems or issues in your life right now think how important they really are? Think of people out there with bigger issues like cancer. I see them at the hospital for appts a lot with Baili. Kids with cancer. Probably the saddest thing I have ever seen. Those are things to get upset about. So I try to disregard the little things and be thankful for what I have.
Love,
The Mama
