A Day of Waiting
I really wasn't going to mention Brandon today, but y'all have absolutely overwhelmed me, and my family, with your kindness and support. That means so very much.
We are trying to stay optimistic. What we know so far scares us. I won't lie to you - it scares us to the very bottom of our souls. But we're trying very hard to keep a positive thought. Good things come from good thoughts.....I firmly believe that.
Today is a day of waiting. Nothing can happen today. Brandon has started to really think about this, and that poor kid is scared to death. It breaks my heart. You see, we promised to protect him, and throughout his life.....well, let's just say the kid hasn't had many good breaks and leave it at that.
But I wanted to thank you again, for your comments, your emails, your phone calls. The not knowing is the very hardest part. I was talking with Dee last night and we both agreed, once we have a better idea of WHAT the enemy is and can put together the plan of attack we'll be better able to focus.
Until then, I'm sharing all your thoughts and prayers, forwarding some of the emails to make sure Mama and Dee KNOW that we are not in this alone.
For sharing your kindness with me and my family, for all the positive thoughts, wishes and prayers you are offering up for my nephew, all I can say is Thank You...
Oh - and I found this collage Mama Vi did for the kids to give me for Christmas this year. This is Brandon over the years. The quality isn't so good....but it's still our boy.....

Waiting is the hardest. Ya'll hang in!
He is so handsome Tammi. I know that you are so proud of him. Please know that I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
