Meisyn Slideshow 8/26/2013

Meisyn's older sister Jaeya fractured her neck. The good news it is just the C6 vertebrae that is broken with no spinal cord involvement. So, we are a bit wrapped up in keeping Jaeya wrapped up right now.


Talented big sister Shayna put together a sweet slideshow of Meisyn. Enjoy seeing her smile through the last year!!!

We Can CHOOSE to DANCE!

Life is hard.  Its complicated.  Its disappointing.  Somehow a little girl who has never been able to stand has learned how to make her spirit continually dance.  In the hundreds of portraits she has drawn of herself she is always upright  .She has never drawn herself with legs that cannot stand or cannot walk. In her latest portrait she is dancing. Dance my girl...DANCE!

So when I am tempted to feel sorry for myself, be disappointed that at middle age some of my dreams didn't "come true", be weary that every day is a struggle to parent children, to feed my soul, I can CHOOSE to dance.  It is not my body, my environment, my bad luck that determines the happiness of my soul. IT IS MY CHOICE.  Meisyn embodies this truth. 
CAN YOU CHOOSE BETTER TOO?

Before you view, please find the pause button on the SCM Music Player link at the top of the blog. If you don't, you will have competing songs and frazzled nerves.

This is our "THANK YOU" from the Ellison's to all those who allowed Meisyn and our family to take a heart picture. We will carry this memory with such happy reflection. You have left your footprints on our family.

Have you ever wondered how Miss Meisyn gets around with legs that she cannot move voluntarily? She has devised a way to get where she wants to go....dragging her legs by hooking them over her hands. Take a minute and watch her as she is determined to make it to the ocean of her own accord. She feels the surf for the first time in her life. Notice she leaves a MUCH BIGGER footprint in the sand than most people. The same way she leaves her footprints on people's hearts..
