I Cannot Complain

Playing at the playground after trying to get tested at the Bone Marrow Drive for Hadley Mercer

We have been busy. Running here and there, indoors more than out, trying out the potty train game (and failing miserably). But I cannot complain. Especially when I learned about this acquaintance and how she is doing everything she can to try and find a bone marrow donor who would help to save her daughter's life. I went to the bone marrow drive this afternoon and they ran out of tests, so I went to bethematch.org and a test is being mailed to me. I don't know this person well, we have been to a few playgroups together, but seeing her being interviewed, watching people stop to give her a hug, observing the PACKED parking lot at Holy Trinity Church, I just could not stop thinking this mama is will stop at nothing to get her baby girl well. 

So I cannot complain that both Duncan and Wip are ALWAYS hungry...

I cannot complain that Duncan pitched a fit when I asked him to help me pick out something for his "white mystery bag" (from the looks he was pleased with what I put in the bag for him:)...

I cannot complain that the boys played with this spaceship for a solid hour on Saturday morning...

I cannot complain that Duncan knows how to take a selfie...

I cannot complain that Wip went to a birthday party this afternoon and was the only child (that I noticed) that thanked the host for having him...

I cannot complain that D's world revolves around super heroes...

maybe he will save the world?

I cannot complain that D is still on the one handed sock bandwagon...

Finally, I cannot complain that this is my Sunday dinner entertainment...

It is tough to see someone go through something that hurts (deeply). It also brings new appreciation to the giggles, "playing animals/superheros", and even the frustrations of potty training that I am going through with Duncan. I will go to bed tonight saying a little prayer that someone will be a match for sweet Hadley. Not only can I not complain, I also cannot imagine what that family must go through every day (if you would like to have a kit mailed to you...just go to bethematch.org and type HADLEYKY in the promocode).
