Don and Boise...somewhere
Day 11: Boise had a great day of rest. She slept, slept and slept. They removed her bandages today and she is gingerly touching her head trying to make sense of it all. She hasn't asked anything about her head and we haven't offered unsolicited information. All we can say is that it will catch your breath.
You all have seen people with impressive scars on their heads and you think, wow...I wonder what happened. I will tell you mom was getting ready to go for a trail ride a week ago Tuesday. She was getting ready to ride China, her beloved horse of many years and poof...now she has a remarkable battle wound reminding us life is short. In a matter of minutes not just one life changed but many lifes around her. We are reminded truly of what is important. It is not the stuff we have but the people we love. Let this be a gentle reminder to all that are reading this to embrace your loved ones, kiss them over and over. Don't just tell them you love them but show them you love them.
Just to be able to touch Boise, massage her legs, put a washcloth on her forehead, love her, nurture her, soothe her and look at her are now moments in our day that we cherish and covet. We've even coined the term, "MH'er"...which stands for Mom Hogger!
Now go....find someone to hug and kiss. Go on...
Beautifully said!! we are so happy for Boise and you, her dear family. And your are right, we will love and show our love to all who are dear to us. Keep sharing the wonderful, uplifting news with us. Much love Nancy & Bruce
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Boise is doing so well. Please give her a hug from me and know that we are thinking of her and sending positive vibes all the time.
ReplyDeleteYou all are so dear to do the blog and keep everyone updated. It's wonderful to know that Boise is making such good progress.

Every baby step of progress is so good to hear, Stacy.
ReplyDeleteThese daily updates are a constant reminder of the fraility of this gift of life we share.
Mom's journey is still unfolding, we honor the opportunity to share it with her and all the Taylors.
Never give up, Boise -- never give up!
Love and hugs from Donna/Kathy - give Don a bear hug from us, please and thank you.
Many have battle scars of one type or another - some more visible than others. When Boise gets well, I am sure she will wear hers proudly, as a reminder of how precious life truly is. We so appreciate being able to read the news, and continue to send well wishes and thoughts of strength to Boise and her entire family.
