God is Good.

Fact.

Today I was marveling at the majesty of God’s infinite goodness. Really, all I was doing was allowing me to enjoy the perfect mundaneness of everyday life. My mom and dad went with me to my treatment today. They brought along two of my favorite little people: my two adorable nieces. They managed to keep a bunch of other patients and visitors entertained with their little antics. Solana chatting nonstop and Kiana mimicking the older one. Both were making perfect adorable spectacles of themselves. In the car, Solana kept a nonstop chant of nursery rhymes and songs while Kiana would gesture and dance. I found myself laughing out loud several times. They are too easy to love. And they make life infinitely more precious.
Unfortunately, this belies a serious incident that happened the previous night. Apparently, my little Kiana got into my mom’s stash of blood pressure and heart medication, chewed and swallowed as any one year old is wont to do when confronted with what look like appetizing bits of candies. So, a trip to the ER and an overnight stay of trauma for the little darling ensued. She still had her little armband on and what appears to be a prodigious amount of surgical tape when I first saw her. Happily, she seems to have suffered no lasting ill-effects. Little ones do tend to cope and bounce back amazingly well.
Again, God is good.
