My buttercup had a finger infection that lead to several visits to urgent care with the 3rd time leading to hospitalization of 3 nights. None of it was fun. Some of it was ugly. Most of it was exhausting. But All of it made me feel grateful. Grateful that LT is full of spunk & fight and grateful for my friends who are right beside us every step of the way. I'm glad last week is over.
OH my goodness!! I am SOOO behind! I am so sorry, this is the highest of stresses that you can have. A kid in the hospital, for any reason at all, is the worst. SO glad it's over and so glad she's ok. YOu have earned a relaxing, chilling mother's day. I hope you enjoy it. Whew. Again, SO glad she's ok! And you too!
This is my story of the journey that led me to Ethiopia to meet my daughter and how she teaches me to Liv everyday.
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." --Antoine De Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince.
The colored stripes on the Ethiopian flag are significant - the red stripe stands for power, faith and blood; the yellow symbolizes peace, natural wealth and love; and the green represents the land and hope. The colors were also interpreted to have a connection to the Holy Trinity, and the three main provinces of Ethiopia. The star represents unity of the people and the races that make up Ethiopia. The five rays on the outside of the star represent prosperity and the blue disk represents peace. The three equal horizontal bands of green (top), yellow, and red with a yellow pentagram and single yellow rays emanating from the angles between the points on a light blue disk centered on the three bands; Ethiopia is the oldest independent country in Africa, and the three main colors of her flag were so often adopted by other African countries upon independence that they became known as the pan-African colors.
