I kept hoping

that I would come up with something touching or witty or profound……something worthy of all the love that was shown to Parker last week. But my totally exhausted little mind just wasn’t co-operating.

Truth is, my head hurts, my heart hurts, and I’m tired of being scared. I can’t tell you how much I long for ‘normal.’ I’m not sure I could put into words how much I yearn for Parker to be healthy. I want to be able to hold him and dream of the future, not worry if there will be one.

But I keep re-reading all the comments sent to Parker and our family from such incredible souls over the last few days. They lift my spirits and allow a glimmer of hope to grow inside me.

So right now I’d just like to say ‘Thank You’. From the bottom of Parker’s little heart, and mine, thank you for everything.

    Tammy my heart aches for you. You are the most courageous woman I know. I am so sorry you have such worry and fear. I , as many others do, wish I could lift your worry and fear and ache in your heart. I also want you to be able to see and watch Parker be healthy and running about and aggravating his mom :) I just want you to know that your family is thought of often and prayed for much. I am praying for the Holy Spirit to touch you and give you hope. I pray for healing and wisdom and mostly courage to get through these difficult days. You will rest well with Parker when he comes home and begins his recovery. God has HUGE plans for your little guy we all feel it and believe it to be true.
    Much Love
    Kim and Miss T

    You’re very welcome, Tammy. I wish I could have done more. As a mom, I think I can understand how your heart yearns for him to just be healthy. But know that a lot of us out here have him in our daily prayers.

  8. Tammy, love ya.

    Prayers of hope and peace continue for Parker, you and your family. Rest as you can…I know you’re holding Parker…so is God.

  10. Michelle says:

    I wish I could give you and Parker a hug!

  11. Rebecca says:

    My heart is hurting just reading this.
    I wish that I could have something really big or comforting to do or say. But all I can say is that me and my kids keep Parker in our prayers every night.

  12. Kei says:

    Sending you many cyber-hugs and lots of love.

    What happened at Slurping Life does not even begin to cover the wishes I had for you. Melody and all those that made donations are amazing people and have been blessed by Parker, as have those of us who donated prizes. My biggest prayer for you is your biggest prayer: that you could hug your toddler and dream of his future, not feel the burden of the uncertainty of it. You’re allowed to be tired and worn out and achy. We’re here praying for you. Lifting you up and holding you when you feel so low.

    Love,
    Natalie

    Tammy, being a mom is one of the greatest blessings of my life and I can’t even imagine how it would be to have a child with Parker’s medical “bumps”! Parker must be a very strong little boy to be able to overcome the things he has overcome already in his short little life – and I believe he will overcome, through God and the faithful prayers of believers, this hurdle you’re facing now! I’m praying for Parker and for your family . . . and believing!
    In His Love and Blessings,
    annb

    Prayers from our family continuing to be sent up for Parker, you, your family! (((HUGS)))

    I can’t truly imagine what it feels like to worry about your child in that way. However, we’re all moms and we all love our kids more than our lives.

    And, we’d all give our lives so that our kids could live happy, healthy lives. We’d do anything for them and when they’re ill … we ache, we hurt, we cry, we don’t know how we’ll keep going.

    And, that is when family, friends, our faith, and our sweet little one’s faces step in to bring us back up.

    Tammy, I don’t know you and you don’t know me…we’ve never met in person, our kids don’t know one another, we don’t go to the same church, or speak on the phone…

    But, I pray for you and your family…for little Parker. I think about you. And I want nothing more than the best of health and happiness for your sweet family.

    Your family has touched my heart and soul and I wish I could do more for you than I can. What I can do…I do, do.

    HUGS to you and your family.

    Blessings,
    Nell
