"You can only be strong so long before you break". I've been doing a really good job of hiding my emotions from Bella but I failed during the daily church service this morning. It's a good thing that I was behind her (she's getting around only by wheelchair right now) and that Brian was there to talk when I couldn't.
I never imagined I would become intimately familiar with a hospital - especially... a children's hospital. Knowing my way around this floor so well, I can stumble to the nourishment room for coffee when I'm half asleep and know where to find more linens when we need them. I know who to ask for tape and soap and the hours of all the activities they offer for the kids. More than I ever cared to know.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?
