Memphis is closed, cool..

Apparently, the Memphis airport is closed. For a few days. ? According to the news, the Memphis airport is experiencing a water pressure issue and is closed. St. Jude has pushed our flight to Wednesday. This means the entire family will be together for our travel. Thank you universe. Of course, my first question was-are we ok for a few more days? The doctors say yes, so yes. We will soak in the time at home. We have a few more days to do all the things.

Tomorrow, Saturday we will start to separate our ‘store’ and ‘move’ items. I’ve been doing this alone most of the week but with limited time and arms (given the baby) it’s been slow-moving. Clutter comes on Sunday to store half of our belongings. Movers come on Monday. Cars get picked up Tuesday and we leave bright and early on Wednesday.

We still don’t have a house, but we are working on it, and thank goodness for Airbnb for now. We have received such gracious notes from folks who live in Memphis, friends of friends, etc. We have an idea of where we might want to live and some great schools for Cruz. One. Thing. At. A. Time.

Kai and Cruz had doctor’s appointments today and Cruz is fit as a fiddle and Kai is looking really great, considering. He is healing and otherwise, just a normal 7.5-month-old. You’d never know this terrible sickness is living in his sweet little body. He is chunky and soft. He smells amazing and has the sweetest gummy grin. He melts our hearts. He is simply perfect and I hate what he is up against. I’m still fighting the anger, the sadness, but somehow still standing. For Kai. For Cruz. For us. I feel like crumbling maybe 100 times during the day, but I don’t. I keep moving. We are ok.

We are a very lucky family to have one another. To have the love we have. We are grateful through the sadness.

one love. always.
