Do you believe in miracles?

There hasn't been a lot of good news in the Shrum household lately. The worst part, of course, has been Marcy's health. We will go into the hospital in the morning to have a mass removed and have it tested for cancer. We are hopeful that, 1. it isn't cancer and 2. that it will end her incredible pain. We also had a mis-carriage a few months back. While I was in El Paso, she also lost the diamond from her wedding ring. Like I said, it's been a little rough in our house. All that being said, we are still blessed in many ways. One of those ways is our 3 boys. Even when I want to strangle them, they are stil the love of our lives. Makiah is our big button pusher. Since Marcy has been down, I've been on full time kid duty, including helping with homework. Makiah fights his homework like it's his job. In fact, I spent a big part of this afternoon arguing with him to get it done. Tonight, he was messing around in our room as I was trying to get the three to bed, when he came up to Marcy and said "Here mommy, I found something shinny for you." Can you believe it, that little shit found Marcy's loose diamond in our carpet, that I had vacuumed a few times since she lost it.(tells you how good our vacuum is) We are hopeful that this is a sign of our future, full of hope, found riches and pain free. Say a prayer for Marcy and stay tuned for an update.
