This weekend I am caring for a good friends five month old baby. She had to go out of town and asked if I could watch her. She is sitting on my lap right now. It does feel good to hold a little one again. It has been awhile since I held a little one, let alone one without tubes all over the place. Part of me feels guilty for having another little one in the house and for holding another baby. I keep asking Alana if it is o.k. and I keep telling her that she will always be my "baby." I know it sounds silly but that is how I feel. Alana is my girl!!
All of my older children have been holding the baby. It is a good thing for them. It is helping us all to heal. My little one's a just loving it. They don't want her to leave. Antonio does a lot of comparing between her and Alana. He remembers so much about his little sister. Antonio and Alana had a special bond.
Please pray for my husband and I as we endeavor to start up a foundation or a fund in Alana's name. We have talked with some people about this and are trying to come up with a name. We would like to have it attached to Mt Sinai's Transplant Hospital and have it help out parents like Cesar and I. As we were going through the transplant with Alana many needs came up. We would like to have funds available to help out other families. If anyone has any suggestion please let us know.
God is good.
