Being Carried by Daddy










These are pics of when Brent was carrying Brody to the car leaving the hospital. Baby Bro was adorable looking around his new environment then when he realized he was safe he relaxed and fell asleep. I sat in the back seat with him and he slept all the way home. Did he know that his daddy had him covered? I doubt it, but not too far in the future he will realize that when his daddy has him he is covered in love.

And today I remind myself of this fact. I am a "Daddy's Girl" (I know most of you are thinking that is a major understatement) but I have always known that in my daddy's arms I find comfort and love. Today, we have found out that our little Maddy's (our fur baby) back is more serious than we thought. It does seem to be something degenerative and may change her daily living drastically. Any meds we can give her to help with the pain and swelling can cause damage to her other organs. Not the news we wanted to hear. Brent and I have poured our parental love into Maddy for the last 9 years, she is like our child too. And she loves Brody so much. She lays near his cradle and if his monitors beep she comes and gets me. I was so looking forwart to them being great buddies. Therefore, today I remind myself that I am in the arms of my heavenly Father, where I find comfort and love, two things I drastically need today.

My prayers are with you and Maddy. I have often said when the day comes that I lose Socks, my cat, that I will be off work for 6 months and will have to order my groceries online. Thanks for keeping the updates on Master Brody coming even with him keeping you busy at home. Give him a big hug and kiss from all of us. Love and prayers, Shannon Hamrick and family
