Savvy is so yummylicious .. she just is...she has a way of looking at you from the side of her eyes and a grin when she knows you are about to say "no" to her...she has a way of shrugging her shoulders and putting her head down when she is "seriously working"...she has a way popping out those dimples and lighting up a room when she is happy...she is just yummylicious!
I was listening to this country song on the radio today and it made me think...Garth Brooks sang words that are so true to me...
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers I remember September so clearly last year...my baby girl was dying...we had been waiting for "the call" to come...it had been months and no one who tried was a match for a living donor...and Savvy was getting sicker and sicker. She had ascites, trouble breathing, could not sleep well...I do not need to recount it all...my little yellow princesa was dying ... I was a zombie doing everything in my power to control something that was uncontrollable. I remember so many afternoons rocking my little girl hoping she could get some rest ... we would be by ourselves at home and I prayed...I begged...GOD PLEASE TAKE MY LAST BREATH right here and right now...PLEASE DEAR LORD give the days, the hours, the minutes that are meant for me to my beautiful little girl...PLEASE do not let her suffer any more..please give her health and happiness....I BEGGED. Last night, Robert and I got no sleep...Savvy had a rough night...and although I wish she had the health that so many others enjoy I am grateful to be here...to be exhausted...to be her Mami. Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers Had God listened to my pleas... I would not be here to enjoy my beautiful yummylicious little girl. None of us know how much time we have..and as I hope that I have atleast 80 more years to enjoy my sweet Savvy if I have only 8 more hours I know that I am blessed for them! Although..my words may not sound happy they are...they are written with joy in my heart for I have never been so happy in my life ... my little girl is here with me ... taking a nap ... and in about 20 minutes she will wake up and she will not be struggling to breath...she will not be jaundiced...her liver is not failing...and I am so very grateful for it!
