my wish

I will tell you what my wish is

at the end.

Monday was a happy day!

I love birthdays, and Harry's seventh 

called for a party.

I decorated, and wrapped gifts,

set the table and cleaned the bathrooms.

Bubba did the cooking...

I love that!

Once the party got going...

I didn't feel so well.

Pain was building in the lower

recesses of my body.

Afterward,

I helped clean up, and told Bubba

I was going to lie down.

I will just say this...

I have never been in so much pain in my life.

By early morning,

I was begging for help.

That stone had cut loose through my body!

At the doctor's office early on Tuesday morning,

they took another x-ray.

The stone was no longer visible.

"It has probably done its thing,"

said the nurse.

Then she said the magic words....

"Do you want a shot?"

"Yes, more than anything in the world."

So, I came home and slept all afternoon and night.

The "shot" is "magic" by the way.

Today I feel better again,

but THE STONE is still with me.

My wish upon a starfish is this....

We leave on Saturday for our trip to Florida.

There are two little boys

 I am eager to see.

Please, little tiny stone that feels like a crater,

will you leave me forever?
