Amber

My older sister, Amber, had a major stroke this past Sunday morning. She is in ICU and we aren't sure what her recovery will look like.

Amber is 38 years old (18 months older than me) and has 7 children ranging in age from 13 to 2.

We are holding a special fast for her beginning this evening after dinner through tomorrow. Please feel free to join in if you are able to.

Unconditional

Today Justin came in to my bedroom as I was sitting on the edge of my bed. Yes, I was reading a web page on my phone. He sat next to me and had a sly grin on his face. I put my phone to the side and put my arm around him.

"What's up, Buddy?"
He laid back horizontally on the bed and said, "Mom, you know how for the past five years I have been trying to think of the word to describe how much I love you?"
"Yes, I remember." It's true, he really has been searching for just the right word.
"Well, I found it! Unconditional. I even did a happy dance when I found it!"
Tears sprang to my eyes.
"Thank you so much, Justin! That is the nicest thing to ever tell your Mom."
I gave him a hug.
"That is how I feel about you, too."
He smiled and said, "I know."
Best. Feeling. Ever.
