Home sweet home

We are home.  We got to go home late Friday night!  Sleeping at home without someone checking vitals every few hours is a lot more comfy & restful.  Danny did a wonderful job on Friday!  Despite the surgery starting over an hour late and not being able to eat, Danny kept up his big brave boy attitude & sailed through!  After the surgery he had to lay flat, completely still and not bend his right leg for four hours, I don't even think I could do that!  He was a champ, he did it!  As long as the t.v. was on he was happy.  It is truly amazing to think just how much has to be working so precise, and so exquisitely together to have just an ordinary day! It makes me believe to a new level just how much of a miracle every breath and every heartbeat really is.  With all that we have going on in life, all the irritating annoyances of daily life, all the things that cause us stress, money, traffic, work, it would do the whole world good to pause and take a deep breath and then give thanks that we can!  Next time you see someone you love put your ear to their chest & realize that the little sound you hear of that heartbeat is an amazing miracle.  It makes my attitude if gratitude grow in magnitude! 
I hope we can all let the stressful and annoying stuff in our days be overshadowed by AWE  in just how wonderfully made we all are!

Much love to you from,

The Brothers Buckley
