Days passed by so swiftly since the time Risha had her surgery yet she remembers every moment spent at Sick Kids. No wonder young children before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily. Her evasion is quicker than an adult, simply muddles me.
Yesterday with her intellectual expression, beautiful eyes and poise she expresses me her experience almost like a sunset "Mom you know when they took me to the Recovery Room, there was lots of kids to see me and noise but I didn't have that mask on ( strawberry flavored as she requested)".....really I said...."yeah, but then I wanted to sleep" and then what happened I asked..."and then daddy comes and says Hi baby and I fell off to sleep again".....And I thought to myself what a wonderful little woman she is. Oh yeah....her words circled comfortably in her mouth like bubble gum, swished around sweetly soft and satisfying.....Isn't it like taking a bite of something lovely? If only we could eat words. It is this incredibly benevolent little lady that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid. She took great delight in telling me that the girl who picked her up and switched her to her room did hurt her a little bit....describing like a self fulfilling prophecy.....my imagination reeled, mere moments passed I came to realize that sitting in here every minute with her I enjoyed and savored...and her spirit, I can never catch it running after it....
She came close and kissed me soft, hugging me tight like a kitten huddling in the shelter of your clasp, I saw now moon's glow, and then she spoke "Look now I can use my left hand completely...I can move my hand at the back of my head, touch the tip of my nose, hang in the monkey bar, blah, blah, blah"....
With Risha's image before me and seeing her happy, my inner soul whispers in my ears that "she's an adornment of life"!

Rinaya, you narrative ability on any topic is really good...Lisa
Rinaya,
I am glad to hear that your glimmer of hope actually turned out to be unadultrated joy for Risha & sense of relief & fulfillment for the family.
Good luck with your next project of rekindling creative skills of an avid Blogger. It encourages an amazing leap across time, back to a feeling of being intensely alive. It is an attempt to recapture the self at a period when everything in life lay ahead is "bright".
Good luck!
