Picture this..


Ryleigh:

* focusing on reading a book long enough to enjoy
* feeling of calm, pain free, relaxing in the comfort of her hospital bed
* learning to embrace the feeling that she may not be in the middle of an IBD (Crohn’s Flare)
* joking and laughing; sharing her insights from her book
* being independent of any lines attached to her which equals freedom to do things for herself
* not even realizing the importance of such a tiny moment in her life

Mom
* Taking a picture that reflects a moment of peace
* Breathing a sigh of relief and enjoying this moment of perfection
* Feeling a overwhelming sense of pride in the strength my daughter shows with each obstacle she faces
* Hoping for more times like this
* Smiling from the inside…out…pure joy being in the moment; mindfully taking in all the positive energy
* Thanking all the wonderful people in our life for supporting us to this moment
* Welcoming any twists and turns knowing that there can be moments like this…

Appreciating the quiet moment of things going right for a change.  Able to concentrate and focus on reading.
