HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
First and foremost, I want to send out an enormous thank you to all of the friends and family who have loved and supported our family with nourishment. You have fed and helped sustain our family for 7 months!!!! The goal was originally set to fulfill the takethemameal.com calendar until the end of the year......and you did it with flying colors. We are honored to have each one of you as key players in making this journey a more healthy and tasty road. Not having to think about what to make for dinner (or lunch or breakfast for that matter) and not having to keep the fridge fully stocked at all times in order to facilitate healthy eating was truly a gift and a blessing for all of us. THANK YOU!!!
Sean went home on Sunday afternoon :((
Luca, Nana, and Grampy went back to Santa Fe today. The apartment is quiet and I miss my little bear so much already. As good as it was for Luca's well-being to be here in Denver with Dillon and I for such an extended period of time.....I believe it is just as good for him to return home to his dad, his pets, his friends, his bed, his school, his neighborhood. When Sean called me this evening, Luca had been home about an hour, and in the background I could hear Luca playing the recorder and singing....by the end of the call he had played a couple more instruments. Sean said he was sort of dancing around and playing each instrument he could get his hands on (we have a lot of percussion and woodwind instruments strewn about the house including flutes, drums, maracas, keyboard, drum set, etc.). This musical act by my sweet one tells me that he is happy to be home and his heart and soul are healthy.
Now for a little blip about the hockey game. We had a blast. We ended up meeting one of the coaches, getting a tour of the stadium and the boys got to high-five the players as they went out onto the ice. This special treat was facilitated by an employee at Brent's Place who has a friend who works for the Denver Cutthroats.

Possibly with Luca at home it will be an encouragement for Dillon to accelerate his want to be there. You know what they say about mind set being a huge part of healing. Not that he's not trying...not saying that at all. Just the extra nudge to get home to his brother! Going to the hockey game looks to have raised everyone's spirits. Quite the smile on Sean's face!!

ReplyDeleteHard to believe it has been seven months now, looks like you guys had a good time at the hockey game, I imagine Luca learned a lot about the on goings of a pro game and team. Nice to hear the New Year is going well and that Luca was so into his music, I am sure he is happy to be home. Miel wishes Dillon a happy New year with his new Birthday, we miss you guys and hope you are on your way home soon, too, loved all the pics.
