A week of ups and downs . . . .

Wow, now that was a week . . . .

I think every emotion a human can feel, i felt. I felt anger, humiliation, deflation, emptiness, fear, sadness, ignorance, happiness, nervousness, elation and love.

A week of fighting untrue comments, a week of dealing of putting out fires at work, and in my past work life, a week of realizing who my true friends are, and who the people are that will no longer be in mine, or my families lives.

I wont go into details, but suffice it to say that I needed some love and laughter LOL. And I got that tonight.

Tonight was my youngest nephews 7th birthday. 7 years ago today i was by my sisters side as she gave birth prematurely to Logan Kain O'Dor. Born at 32 weeks and only 16 inches long, i knew from the moment i saw him that this boy would bring undying love to his mothers life. He struggled the first few days with underdeveloped lungs, bright red skin, and feeding issues. But you could see Linzi just become stronger with every roadblock they hit. She stepped up to the plate. Linzi is at her strongest when there is crisis, and her strength came out in leaps and bounds over the first few weeks.

Logan is a unique young man. He has his own way of looking at life, and will chat your ear off once he gets to know you. His older brother Chase, is an amazing mentor and role model for Logan - he is patient, kind, and understanding of Logan's issues - he at times has to walk away, but Logan will follow him everywhere, and Chase is Logan's hero. They have a wonderful relationship.

So tonight our family got together to celebrate our Logie. Our little Indigo child who brings such joy to our lives. Nanna, poppa, cousins Kyle and Brady, Brittany and Auntie Nicky and Uncle Dean all shared burgers and frozen ice cream cake together. I don't think we finished one story we started, i just know that we laughed and talked for hours.

And this weekend is looking like a great one, dinner with peeps Friday, girls night Saturday, and dinner with more peeps on Sunday . . . . . during times like I have had during the past week or so, these moments are the most important and energizing for me.

This week is a week i never want to go through again, the true colours of people came shining through. People i had trusted, supported, fought for and worked with . . . but they are now out of my life, and i am thankful for the times coming up this weekend.

So to those now gone from my life . . . see ya! for those i love, thank you! for my little Logie, i love you buddy, and you will overcome those milestones, you will succeed with your mummy right by your side. Chase O, keep being that awesome big brother. Love you all.
