Dear Jordan,
It has been a tough week but YOU are a champ. You have learned how to go potty (most of the time!) and are wearing big boy underwear (most of the time!). This on top of me being in a chair for almost a week and many people in and out of the house to help us. My back surgery is on Wednesday and we are all so ready. I'm sure you're a little confused as to why Mama is always sitting and not taking you places anymore. Believe me, if I could, I would! This back pain is terrible. The other night I was change Marcus' diaper and I almost threw up. It's constant and severe, but hopefully soon I will be back on my feet and ready to chase you again.
I know it's hard when there are so many people telling you what to do. Ultimately, Mom and Dad are the authority but we've delegated to so many that you get confused and act out. You did that a little in Sunday School today, but thankfully Daddy and Ms. Brenda understood and were able to help you calm down.
Speaking of Daddy, he's the best. He has taken care of me so well. He loves me and shows me by all of the things he has done. And on top of taking care of all of us, he has worked a lot too. He's probably ready for me to be back to normal too!
What is "normal" anyways? The point of our lives isn't to have everything just the way we want it. What we are supposed to do is do the best with what God has given us. God has given me back pain and yet I am supposed to glorify Him with these days that sometimes feel like are wasted in that recliner. But I can still love on you and pray from you when I can't take you to the park.
Hopefully next time I write you, I'll be able to sit without pain. But for now, God knows it hurts and is helping me. Your sweet attitude helps too...like the other morning when I was sitting by the toilet because my medicine was making me sick. You kept rubbing my back and saying "Sorry, Mama". I am so blessed to have you!
Love,
Mom
