I have always loved making videos and picture albums. Most of the time it is to preserve memories. Sometimes it's to deal with emotions that I am having about certain events and obstacles in our lives. I made a video of Macy's surgery. It started out as a video to document her journey, but now I can see that it has become something that means so much more than that to Macy. She LOVES to watch it! I am not sure if it's a reminder of how far she has come, if it helps to reassure her of her bravery, or if it means even more than that for her. No matter what, I am so happy I made it for her!
Many of you have been on this journey with us since day 1, and during those days in Chicago I chose not to share any images of Macy. Instead, I decided to journal and share the story. Macy has decided she wants her story to be shared through the video. I know her story and her life will continue to inspire many people.
We are so proud of you Macy!
Just a warning, some of these images show Macy with lots of tubes and machines. If that is hard for you to see, you may not want to watch it. I would also be very cautious to show any children.
Oh, that was hard to watch. We are poised on the edge getting ready to make the plunge and as a mom, I am terrified. Thank God for Macy's miracle. I was thinking it would be good for Laurel to see but now, not so sure. Thanks for sharing your experience.
