why can't I stop crying?
I am finding that it is in my solitude that this whole ordeal seems so hard. When I look at Traeton I can't help but be grateful for his strength, but when I am alone I can't stop crying. Not crying because he is struggling, because he is doing amazing, but crying out of disbelief and gratitude. It seems unreal to me, I can imagine how he is confused by all of this. Traeton is doing wonderful. He is back to teasing his brother and getting into trouble. He is begging to get out and play. I think I will always be a bit over protective and worried about his well-being, but he is on the fast track to complete recovery. We are all so proud of him and what he is able to accomplish. There is one thing I have noticed- he is always smiling. I don't think he has frowned once since we have been home. Just looking at him brightens my day. Thanks for all of the support and love. We have felt an abundance of love through this and I know it has helped all of us.

Maria, Like the famous opening line says, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Amazing how we can feel both emotions or ends of the spectrum at the same time. As I was looking for some guidance in my own life i found this quote by Harold B. Lee. “Sometimes the things that are best for us and the things that bring eternal rewards seem at the moment to be the most bitter, and the things forbidden are ofttimes the things which seem to be the more desirable.”
Thank you for trusting me with the care of your children. As I watched and worried regarding Traeton today I saw how Taron, Keaton and Belle are learning to care for those in need better. They were more mindful of the needs of someone else rather than themselves. It took Keaton a little longer to understand this. Traeton has such a strong spirit. This is evident with just a few moments spent with him. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and fears with us. All our Love, Tara
We are keeping you and your family in our prayers. I am sure that every thing will work out. Just keep your chin up. Take care. Stephen and Sky
Maria,
Your sweet family is in our prayers, and even so far away, our thoughts are with you. We love you and are so grateful that everything seems to be righting itself.
