Remembering Naboo

Well, we are now officially petless. Mushu died a little over 2 years ago and on Tuesday night, March 23, Naboo went to join her in heaven. He too was hit by a car. This reiterates why we are using our tax return to get a fence. Our street is just too busy. :(

We waited until Wednesday after preschool to tell Kaden about Naboo. He cried for a long time and kept saying, "But I love him..." as if that could bring him back. It was heartbreaking. Cindy doesn't understand and keeps calling for Naboo. Kaden tries to explain it to her.

This morning, Kaden was reminding Cindy once again that Naboo isn't going to come when she calls for him. Then he turned to me and said, "But you know what Mommy? Naboo is happy now because he gets to play with Mushu and Jesus." He is such a smart boy!

Here is a picture of Naboo that was taken just a few days before he died. I always wanted a big, lazy orange cat like Garfield, and I certainly got him. He will be missed.

10 Months & 1 Week

10 months and 1 week ago I held my 10 month and 1 week-old daughter for the very first time. This means that from this day forward, she will have lived with us longer than she lived in Korea. For me, this is a special milestone!

I'd also would like to ask for your prayers. I have been battling some very severe body aches and pains the past few weeks as well as many other strange maladies. I'm not sure what is causing it, but through research, I think it may be Hypothryroidism or Fibromyalgia. Neither one is a good option, but are likely since I have other autoimmune diseases. Let's pray I just have a bad flu or something and will be back to normal (well, as normal as it gets for me) in no time. I have a doctor's appointment Tuesday morning. Thanks!
