Dave is taking a poetry class this semester & has had the opportunity to let his mind wander & write whatever he would like down on paper. This poem in particular has been very special to me. When I read this for the first time, I cried. And still when I read it, I cry. He's extremely talented & I'm grateful that he went with his feelings & wrote this poem.

:PERFECT:

Tiny hands grasp my right index finger,
Sparkling blue eyes gaze
Seeing something hidden from me.
Auburn curls frame your crooked little smile
Perfect.


Your eyes shake, squint and cringe
Body folds in half at the waist.
Tears roll down your cheeks,
As chaos engulfs us all.

MRI reveals a secret you hide,
Your mind is missing pieces.
Eyes tell a story that allows us to see,
You are different.
But Perfect.

Watching you struggle, working
To accomplish what others can do already.
Strength grows, tears fall and
Hope is blossomed from your smile.
Perfect.

Update on Abi:
She is still having seizures daily & we've even added a new medicine. Keppra. So far it hasn't helped, which is a bummer. We also scheduled her an appointment with a Pediatric Neurologist in Dallas Texas for December 18th. So we will be spending Christmas in Texas. We are anxiously awaiting this appointment & of coarse staying with Jay & Tita, & their family. Hopefully we'll find some answers that we've been looking for. Until then, we'll just continue to give Abi the best care she needs & pray that these seizures will stop.
