Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it's not there, pay attention to your feelings :-)

This is a picture of our backyard.....

 And this is a picture of our backyard yesterday......

 Every once in awhile these beautiful misty clouds will roll in and completely cover up that huge mountain in our backyard. Now I know the mountain is still there. I can feel the presence of the mountain even though I cannot see it. Just like I know that there is a spirit world. I've been lucky to have experiences in my life, where the veil was thin. I know the spirit world is there.  Just like I know that mountain is there. I believe that my loved ones and ancestors are in that world. I also believe they are working hard, preparing for the day when we can all be together again, and live in peace :-)

Tonight we got some more respite! Nurse Helen (the BEST!) came to watch Sophie... and Lindsay and Gracie came over to play with Max :-) (p.s. Lindsay Nicol is the best babysitter ever!)
Jason and I went to dinner with his sister Melanie and brother-in-law Layne :-) It was so nice to get out and act normal for a couple hours :-) We should have taken a picture! Thank you Lindsay and Helen we couldn't have done it without you! :-)

And look who got her toy today! She's been batting at these toys for a while but today she grabbed and held on... long enough for me to go get my camera and take the picture! Good girl!
