Im thinking it may help me to write a little each day as we count down the next 13 days. Not so sure that deciding to wait until we had a date to start worrying was the best idea..............
I have always known this day was coming and its been there just under the surface, some times more than others, like when some twit feels the need to point out my child looks different, or a kid says something mean to her. The hardest part of that has been the blatant long stares from people every time we go out.
So now we move into the next stage of her life. Reconstruction...........
Yesterday I cried and cried, "cry me a river" springs to mind was it Justin Timberlake that sang that in a song?
Today they are there but just holding off which is good I don't look good frog eyed, red blotches and a runny nose, but a least I looked like I felt.
Now its time to get real and get on with it, I have to shop for PJ's and t shirts for Danika that do up at the front she can't have anything go over her head for post op. This is not a shopping trip I will call retail therapy.
My dad and step mum (I'll only refer to her that way this once as she is more of a mum than the one I have) are coming to Melbourne on the 4th and I can't thank them enough for flying from Perth Western Australia to be with us. Darren Claire Danika and I are so welcome of their support.
Claire(big sister) had already booked the week off work as we were going to the Gold Coast on the 3rd until the 9th of October for Danika's Starlight Wish she wants to swim with the dolphins. I tried to convince her she wanted to meet Robbie Williams without luck and the starlight team were onto me as I'm not the first mum to suggest this lol it was worth a try I say............ So you dolphins wait for my precious girl to be healed and strong then watch out she is coming to get you............
