If you can't feel thankful just now, at least feel hopeful - a little bit - okay? http://www.hope4peyton.org/2009/faith/ I don't know Anissa either - well, except that I found her husband's posts, and learned a little bit about her and her family, thanks to you. It looks like Anissa is making progress. It may be slow, but there may be much to be thankful for - just around the corner. Jessica, I’m a friend of Heather’s.

And I don't know why unspeakable things happen to the most beautiful and undeserving among us. All I can tell you is that probably millions are praying for her and her family, and that you are loved. Hope you feel better soon. Jessica, I don’t know Anissa, but she sounds like one of those so rare people who we all aspire to be.

I've spent the last several days in the Phoenix Children's Hospital with my 3yr old. She was just diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I wondered why God would allow such an active, happy, vibrant little thing go through the pain of this disease. I cried as I tweeted out the news relating to anyone reading how overwhelmed and alone I felt. I held her little bruised IV stabbed hand and told her how sorry I was she was sick and how much I loved her. And now... as of an hour ago... we are home. She's in her own bed... napping. And I'm crying for a different reason. I wasn't so alone after all. While I felt so lost and hopeless... hundreds of people cared enough to share their love and support and advice. A few personally stopped by with gifts and hugs... people I've never met in my life. So although I felt so thankless 4 days ago... as of an hour ago... I can look back and really be thankful for so many things. Thank you for this post. xo Kelly I know how you feel. I’ve spent the last several days in the Phoenix Children’s Hospital with my 3yr old.
