The thankful thing

Sooo, Ada threw up. A lot. Lots of times.
First in Kevin's office, then on the way home, then at home....
Poor girl.
And poor me.
And poor Kevin whose office smells really bad.
And poor Cambel who had to sit next to his vomiting sister all the way home.

When we finally arrived home Cambel was helping me get stuff out of the car while I got Ada in the bath. Somewhere he fell and by the time I got to him he was crying. I hugged him and said, this is just not the greatest day is it?
And then he surprised me and said calmly and joyfully:
"Well, the thankful thing is that it's good I didn't puke."

Hopefully that will continue to be everyone's future thankful thing.

Maria, I'm so sorry Ada is sick. I really hope it is a short lived thing. Our family is just getting over it and it's been a week and a half. I'll pray for a quick recovery for Ada and the "thankful thing" to remain the thankful thing!
