Feeling sad for my Ella… We were talking about friends and she mentioned her friends Lauren and Ryan who live next to my parents. She said she doesn’t want to see them the next time we are at my parents house. I asked her why and she slapped her cast. I told her that she can still see them with her cast…She said she wouldn’t be able to walk the steps at their house. I said that friends help each other and that Lauren and Ryan would help her and make sure she got up and down the stairs.

I felt my eyes instantly fill with tears. She has been a real trooper through this entire cast ordeal ….I don’t forget she’s a child and has her down moments, but she’s been so positive and has had a go with the flow attitude about the whole thing that it punched me in the gut hearing her so sad about her friends and not wanting to see them.
