Seeing CJ navigate her health struggles firsthand has given me a whole new level of understanding and empathy. Witnessing the exhaustion and stress of countless doctor's appointments put a lot into perspective. My heart aches for her, but I'm incredibly grateful we could be there for her, delivering collective hugs and love from all our Magic Makers💖 Thank you to everyone who made this trip possible; your support meant the world.
But amidst the heartfelt moments, I also learned something pretty interesting about myself! CJ’s home is wonderfully calm and peaceful – what I now realize is, for me, *extremely* quiet. I never realized how much I thrive on a constant hum of background noise until I spent several days in that peaceful environment. Audiobooks, music, the happy chaos of my kids – I need that continuous soundtrack to my life. It's not loudness; it's a certain level of ambient energy I need to function. I guess my baseline "noise level" is higher than most people's – LOL! No wonder I spent a lot of time with my earbuds in, creating my own personal soundscape – nothing personal, CJ! Just a newfound self-awareness!
Leaving Oklahoma was incredibly hard. Tears wereshed, knowing we might not see each other in person again for a while. But I pray that changes soon
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a joyous holiday season! Thank you again for your unwavering support, which made this special reunion possible. We love you all 💖🎄
