After that long, exhausting sick week, we had to say goodbye to my parents as they headed back to Michigan… and that part never gets easier 😓
Between my parents and Grandma Mary, we were truly carried through one of the hardest stretches we’ve had.
They stepped in without hesitation and just held everything together when we couldn’t.
Taking care of Penny, going back and forth to the hospital, cleaning the house, making sure we had what we needed, and somehow still pouring so much love into all of us in the middle of it.
It’s hard to even put into words what that kind of support means when you’re running on empty.
When you’re just trying to get through the day, and someone steps in and lifts the weight off your shoulders without being asked… it’s everything.
We are so incredibly grateful for them — for the way they showed up, for the love they gave our girls, and for the way they carried us through when we needed it most.
Thankfully, we’ve got Grandma Mary back in town again, the sun is finally shining, and Rosemary is back where she belongs 💪
Her first day back at PT was amazing — side stepping, sit-to-stands, standing, walking… she worked so hard and did such a great job.
And the best part? It doesn’t look like she lost any strength while we were down.
Kids are unbelievably resilient ✨
Back to it!
