My “Christian” brought me a surprise from school…a pipe cleaner bracelet with five beads. I wear it proudly. Not just because my sweet boy made it for me, but because a year ago he could have beaded this pipecleaner. The nerve damage done by the first PICC line attempt was severe. It took many, many months before he could touch his index finger to his thumb. I am stepping back and taking joy in the little things…assisting with kindergarten homework, cleaning the kitchen after a satisfying meal, and little beaded bracelets.
