I cancelled Katie's appointment for today. The nurse said we could bring her in any time, if we felt like she needed a transfusion. However, I think Katie is on her way up and not on her way down. So, we will enjoy the "up" while we have it. We are always glad for the good days!
As Mother Day approaches, I feel a great awareness regarding my responsibilities to my children, as their mother. This quote by President Gordon B. Hinckley is a sobering reminder: “Never forget that these little ones are the sons and daughters of God and that yours is a custodial relationship to them, that He was a parent before you were parents and that He has not relinquished His parental rights or interest in these little ones. Now, love them, take care of them. Fathers, control your tempers, now and in all the years to come. Mothers, control your voices, keep them down. Rear your children in love, in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Take care of your little ones, welcome them into your homes and nurture and love them with all of your hearts” (Gordon B. Hinckley, Salt Lake University Third Stake conference, 3 Nov. 1996; in Church News, 1 Mar. 1997, 2).
so happy it was a good day. Our prayers are with you, hoping sweet Katie and Connor and the rest of the Epps family have more good days than bad. Happy Mother's Day! You are such a good one.
