Wow, that is what is going on up in here. Lots of emotions. Like every time I look at Julia, I start to tear up. She's this adorable little toddler, and I can hardly get enough of her. I can't stand the thought of saying good-bye to her.
And then I watched The Help last night. Of course that set me off because, well, it was sad and sweet and sad some more. That and it was my last girls' night here in TXas. So I've been saying good-bye to some sweet gals who've really been there for me this past year...this past very difficult and life-changing year.
Tonight, we watched Soul Surfer. And there is Bethany Hamilton is on a surf board getting her arm bit off by a shark, and who doesn't cry at that? I mean, she's praising Jesus as she's bleeding out, and I'm thinking I'd be passed out right about then. But she survived, and she goes on to do these amazing things, like win surfing championships and give humanitarian aid in Thailand and teach people to surf. Wow!
Then I see Julia, all over again, running around the room on her cute, stubby, two-year-old legs. And I'm thinking to myself how impossible this weekend is going to be, what with saying good-bye to Zeb, Leah and the kiddies, and a girl just got her arm bit off by a shark. I just said good-bye to all my friends in TXas this past week. And is Bethany seriously helping a little child get up onto a surf board? What doesn't this girl do?
Yep, it's been that kind of day. E.MO.TION.AL!
