I kind of saw that my room was decorated yesterday but I had no idea what was in store for me today. As I walked to my room, I think every kid had on pink. It was a sea of pink. I felt like every student was wearing something pink. I was totally speechless. If you know me, you understand that doesn't happen. When I got to my room there was a group of 6th grade boys (whom I don't know) waiting for me, The were wearing a pink ribbon around their heads. One of them said "on a normal day- we would get beat down for wearing this" but we are committed to pray for you, we hope you are better. I was so amazingly moved. I felt so loved. There is even a wear pink on Friday for profe day on facebook- I am pretty good about staying up on things and they got me- they got me good. I must be slipping-totally missed it.
The day only got better from there- I got personalize letters, my room was filled with balloons, then I got a package from my sister, the boys sported pink on the baseball field and swung a pink maple bat, that was given to me after the game. Amazing With this kind of support, and a God who stands before me- I am invincible (maybe I will have to go get an invincible costume).
I am ready to get started now. Still waiting for the surgery date, but I will post as soon as I know.
There is now way to let these kids know how deliciously awesome they are...I am surrounded by the best and you bring out the best in me.
it was a truly awesome sea of pink. we are all praying for you. :)
