She deserves it! I like that phrase- "pixie dust"- because it is applicable to the things, big and small, that are done to give our kids some fun, hope, comfort,... anything that helps negate some of the crap that they have gone and continue to go through. When the dominoes can get knocked back in the other direction, it's pretty awesome. <br /><br />I hope Gabby and the whole family have an amazing trip, sprinkled with a healthy dose of pixie dust!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13164072146379474894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992448392811623347.post-56273728461636045002012-07-06T12:59:34.585-07:002012-07-06T12:59:34.585-07:00Apparently, I really liked to use the phrase "...Apparently, I really liked to use the phrase "fired up" in that last comment.<br /><br />Nothing like rampant redundancy.chiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597283400851387772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992448392811623347.post-5074265252329249602012-07-06T12:58:43.938-07:002012-07-06T12:58:43.938-07:00I think you deal with it the way you need to.

It won't change the fact that they have to do those things.<br /><br />But at least you get fired up and raise a shit-ton of money for PCRF. IMO, you get fired up about what you can change which is the best scenario.chiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597283400851387772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992448392811623347.post-40701508653718236852012-07-05T08:14:51.993-07:002012-07-05T08:14:51.993-07:00You are going to have a GREAT trip to Disney.

Go for it. <br /><br />2. You cope with things extremely well, running, blogging, fundraising, and DOING. Everyone has their own style, in varying degrees of privacy. There isn't a wrong way to deal with things unless someone is being hurt. Keeping it to yourself at work is what you choose to do and that's fine, but it's great to be able to be supportive of those who come to you...if you have anything left to give. The anger is totally okay, I think it's partly a result of you having limited leftover resources to be able to support those people, too! <br /><br />Heather you are so amazing, you are such a ROCK, and I hope you always have someone there to hug you and help you put the pieces back together when you have your moments of total breakdown and being overwhelmed.<br /><br />I hope everything goes in the right direction this week for Gabby so that she can completely enjoy every moment of her trip.<br /><br />Happy 4th to all of you!Alene Gone Badhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887360033395271217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992448392811623347.post-13782159409347887922012-07-03T23:13:19.511-07:002012-07-03T23:13:19.511-07:00I can imagine you have to be blase about things at...I can imagine you have to be blase about things at some point - it takes so much energy otherwise.

I could tell he expected me to say something really helpful, but I feel like I fell short. It sucks, dude. Then out spilled all the cliches: Worrying won't change the outcomes, so try to stay calm. One day at a time. <br /><br />I feel like it is easier to be the one sick (or in your case, the mother of the sick child) than to watch someone else you love fight. And a transfusion feels oh so good and isn't really a big deal after you've had as many as Gaby has.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01212228308225991239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992448392811623347.post-62883867047962098232012-07-03T09:05:21.433-07:002012-07-03T09:05:21.433-07:00I think when people have been through cancer or an...I think when people have been through cancer or any other major hospital issue you just go into autopilot, I speak from experince on that. I am the best person to take the hospital as I have spent to many nights there due to car accidents - 11 days for me, months for my step mom. When someone calls me about an issue instead of freaking out I start going through my checklist of stuff that needs to happen to support them and the person there. That is not blase - it is just the way I cope. They way you cope is what works for you. Never apologize for that. You are strong! I look at my little nugget and can't even imagine what you are deal with daily with Gabby! I hope her Make a Wish Trip is everything YOU all NEEDED and want of course.
