I'm glad your little one made it thru her surgery very well. Nothing scares a child more than someone poking around looking for a vein...glad the nurse didn't stick her until a good vein was found.
She'll recover quickly and while doing so, enjoy the ice cream and attention.
I am so glad that things are working out for you and your BF. You deserve a man who will respect and treat you well. Enjoy this new found feeling and always remember...you are the prize!
Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
