broken

A little while ago

I gave Lucy a ballerina piggy bank.

It was a prized possession.

When someone gave her money

she would tuck it away.

The two quarters that she gave me for my birthday

came from her bank.

She is always very generous.

Last night she brought it to her mom.

Seems as if some coins

 had gotten stuck

in the feet of the pig and needed to be retrieved.

On the way back to her room

 Lucy tripped over the bricks in the foyer 

and the ballerina pig

went crashing to the floor,

 breaking apart,

never to be put back together again.....

kind of like Humpty Dumpty. 

Her sorrow was great and inconsolable.

Today I brought her the pig in the picture.

The joy it gave was indescribable.

Keep praying for Harry.

This day of testing was very hard,

but he was brave and made it through.

More tests tomorrow and then home on Friday.

God, please have mercy on our precious boy.

ps....the foyer

is made of bricks that are raised up about 5 inches. 

They have always posed a tripping hazard.
