Saturday night when we arrived home from the hospital late in the evening we were all drained. Spence had been saying all day that it had been a really bad day. He had finally let his emotions catch up with him and was emotional all day. He cried over everything and I let him. My wonderful friend Heather, who has many loyal blog readers all over the country, and all over the world for that matter posted an awesome blog a couple of weeks earlier, {operation: support our super spence}. She asked her readers to send cards to Spence so that she could put them all over his walls to be greeted with when he got home from the hospital. When we walked in the door there were Mylar balloons tied to various places in the living room, dining room and up the stairs. I asked him to come upstairs with me even though he was tired and feeling down. As soon as we walked into his room he was a completely different person. His spirit was lifted so high that he didn't even go to sleep until late, late late. He was so excited. Cards were posted all over his walls and gifts were heaped onto his bed. These are people who don't even know my guy personally but have fallen in love with him through our blog and through others who love him. It was truly amazing. We are so lucky to have friends from all over supporting Spencer's spirit and joining us with others to begin new relationships! Thank you Heather and all who supported this "operation". It was a complete success!
Wow! That is so awesome! (I found your blog through Brittany, by the way) And I am so amazed at how you are making such an awful thing, into a beautiful thing. You are an SUPER mom!
ReplyDeleteThis post brought tears to my eyes!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad it changed his demeanor- what a special little boy. I hope you don't mind if I look in on your blog from time to time to follow his progress. I am a friend of Heather's and feel so blessed to have been able to do something for someone else in need. Give him extra love from the Hubrich family.

another Heather :)
