Today we went to the medical building for TB check- perfect! We then headed to the Zoo. Molly was so excited. She said she has never been to a zoo before and was very happy to go. There was lots to experience. She was able to feed the giraffes up close and personal, she took lots of photos, ate some ice cream, and loved the deer. At the end of the zoo there is a small amusement park. She wanted to ride one of the rides and because she is the queen we obliged. She wanted to ride the bumper cars...not a good idea for our sweet girl, so we asked what was her second choice? Her second choice was the kiddie cars. She loved it! When she got off the ride she told our guide that she loved it and that she was very BRAVE for riding! We just happen to agree with this beautiful little girl! She is one BRAVE girl, not just for riding in a kiddie car but for embracing her new life and forever family! Molly is full of happiness and joy but most of all our girl is BRAVE. Thank you God for giving her BRAVERY in this new chapter of her life!

Maureen - This is Tracy Staley from the Bible study this summer. I just caught up on Molly! Oh my how wonderful!!!!! I am thinking of the Nicole Nordeman song "Brave." Love it!

ReplyDeleteAll your posts have just made me smile, but this one is the best. I love seeing you in that car with her. You are the best mom, my friend! This is what God created you to do and you knew that from the time you were just a little girl holding up that microphone to tape the telethon!! We can't wait to meet this brave and joyous spirit Thursday! Counting the days to your return and praying that the Holy Spirit comforts Molly and prepares her for all the new changes. Love, Julie
