Tuesday night. Sept.16 08 from dana

I’m in big trouble.   Its easy for me to admit my faults because I do identify with the side of ourselves that really mess up.  It’s where we learn the most, wouldnt you agree?

Chloe overheard me tell some fundrasing people tonight that I had a sick daughter.  Ok, I acutally said , “A very sick daughter”.  My bad, my bad.  I was still thinking about the weekend as she was VERY sick.  Absolutely, I was Not thinking about the tumor.  But she was all over my case like flies in fresh pancake batter. The next several minutes were spent explaining myself to my nine year old.  She isnt an easy sell.

Interestingly, there are several organizations I do support. The one who knocked at my door tonight isnt on the list.  Doesn’t mean its not important, its just on someone else’s list, not mine.  In hindsight my quick tongue got me out of mischief and INTO the fire(with Chloe…ack!!)

The odd thing my usual mantra is “This year she is well, its LAST year she was sick”. 

The update is she is looking wonderful, playing joyful artful watergames in the front yard this evening(she soaked herself), giggled like crazy, ate dinner and a good amount, fought with Colin a small amount and shared with me her homework, a letter with guts and feeling and hope about how her little dragon, Firebolt, makes a difference in her life.

She read her website guestbook tonight. Another Chloe Watts sent her encouragement.  Someone who had cancer as a five year old.  Someone who told OUR Chloe “expect a miricle”.  One just smiles as the village reach’s out.

Also heard from our former choir teacher who knows how to bring community together.  We read it all.  We thank you.

It matters.  It all matters.  Chloes life .  All life. 

Love Love Love,
