In (less than) twelve hours...

In twelve hours, Grado begins his surgery (7:30 am). 

In the past twelve hours, we have been busy... After a wonderful surprise birthday party for our sweet niece, Mimi, we played, finished packing, and prepared for this morning. We enjoyed church with family and friends and listened to an amazing prayer by our Pastor. We felt - as we always do, an overwhelming joy as we left. Our congregation is amazing.

Friends and family followed us home for breakfast, and even more joined. Almost 60 people came to send love, well wishes, and prayers to our G. He loved every minute of it and knew - fully well, that so many people love him and are supporting him through this process. He was all smiles all day. 

As his parents, Phil and I can't even begin to express thanks... Words just don't seem to cut it. In time, though, we will reach every one of you, specially. But, please, please know that you are all so loved.

We made it to Indy around 3 and to my sister's at 4. We had dinner and let the kiddos play. What a great way to keep distracted... Lovin' on our niece and nephew. :)

Now, we are tucked in... Exhausted! G got to play in the tub and is happily cuddled with Ironman and Monkey. He says he's ready to get to the doctor. If he is ready, we are...

I promise to post again tomorrow evening. Love to you all.
