I agree that the soap opera doctor should have been able to hook us up a little better. Not that I allowed you to get much sleep anyway, needing your assistance from time to time during the night. You did look pretty cute though when the sun shone in on you in the morning, spread across five chairs, holding the pink teddy bear. I won't mention how quickly you got your make-up out when more people began to stir around the hospital corridors. For the daughter known as the baby of the family (even though only 13 minutes younger than Teresa) and for holding the title of princess all these years, you have certainly come through as my rock, my support, my right-hand, my driver, my confidante, my cheerleader, and my believer of tears, cures, and a healthy future. Love from Your Mom. Krista,

Five chairs? You're not that tall (I know, I shouldn't talk). Just wanted to remind you that there are a couple people you see most days that have a pretty good idea of what you, your mom, and the rest of your family are going through. Just know that you can count on our support, whether you need to vent, have questions, need to feel you're not doing this alone, or whatever. So how's the big headed one? No, not your mom after primping her hair. The littlest member of the family ... Zoe. Handful, eh? One day, I know you will look back and really grasp how she helped you and your mom through this period. Nothing like a fuzz-ball romping around delivering laughs and unconditional love. Anyways, just know that you have a support system that extends beyond your immediate family. As you said, "the sun did come out" ... and it will come up tomorrow too.
