sometimes your heart just breaks

Last evening
we made a big bowl of homemade chicken salad......
the perfect dinner to end a hot summer day.
We invited David and Erika
and Lucy, Harry, and Gus to join us.
This picture was taken just before we ate.

About two hours later Harry was in the hospital.

After dinner,
he got to go to a "big boy" party with his dad.
He was swimming in the pool when a seizure hit.
Blessedly, a friend saw it happen
and immediately pulled him out of the water.

Much later, thankfully, they let him come home.
I was there watching over Lucy and Gus.
Harry came in smiling and telling me all about his adventure.
He had a tiny tweety bird bandaid on his little hand
where they inserted the IV needle.
David told me later that he never cried.

God was merciful and kind to us last night
in regards to Harry.
We are thankful beyond measure.
