A Request

Treebucket 
Today I'll be taking my Mom to the hospital for surgery. She'll be in for about a week and then rehab for another. I can't even begin to express how much my Mom means to me. She is the most loving, supportive woman I have ever known. Always so kind and happy to everyone. I know she's probably a bit nervous about her surgery but doesn't seem to let it show.

 It would mean the world to me if you would leave her a sweet comment of encouragemet for her surgery and recovery. Just a simple, thinking of you. Her name is Saundra. As soon as she's feeling up to it I plan on sharing them with her. Thank you in advance for your kindness.
Much love & gratitude, Heather

Update: My Mom made it through surgery. It took almost twice as long as expected which was nerve wracking. But in her usual style…she was smiling and happy in the recovery room. This morning I printed up all your lovely, heartfelt comments & prayers and will be bringing a Great Big Get Well Card to her today! I know how much she will love reading everyones well wishes and it will surely help her get through her long road of recovery.
Thanks again. Truly, you guys are THE BEST! xo

    Hello Saundra,
    Magic Wand
    I wish I had a magic wand
    To make it go away;
    I’d wave my scepter over you
    Until you were okay.
    I’d think good thoughts; I’d send you love;
    I’d transmit healing vibes;
    My wand and I would surely beat
    Whatever the doc prescribes.
    But there is no magic scepter, so
    I cannot cast a spell;
    Just know you’re often in my thoughts,
    And I hope you’ll soon be well!

    May God tenderly hold you as you recover from surgery . Go with his gentle schedule and you will be fine! May you find all kinds of joy , in even unexpected ways, as you recuperate. Then spring will be here, and you may have SPRING in your heart ,and maybe your step, too!

  78. Marla in Columbus

    Miss Saundra,
    Ive been what some might call a “stalker” (look, but don’t comment) on your daughter’s lovely blog and thought that should change when she mentioned her sweet mom was going to be having surgery.
    It sounds like you are a big part of Heather’s life. As a mother, I asire to be much a part of my children’s lives when they are adults as I am now at the ages of 12 and almost 10. We all need our moms – I wish every day mine was still with me – so you take care and feel better soon.
    Marla in Columbus, OH

  101. Tamra/The Gilded Barn

    Saundra, I found your daughters post extremely touching as my parents are elderly and I now find myself sometimes needing to help take care of them.
    Please, always remember that for those of us fortunate enough to have loving, wonderful parents it is truly a pleasure to help take care of them. So relax, get well and enjoy each precious moment together as she returns a small portion of the loving care that you extended to her through out her life. Let her enjoy taking care of you as much as you did taking care of her. I wish you the best of health and many years of happiness with your family.
    Best regards,
    Tamra

    I am praying for a quick recovery and that you would sense God’s tender loving care. Many years ago I met you at Heather’s garden shop in the Canyon Crest Center.

Just know there will be many people who care and will be lifting you up in prayer and that we have a loving God who cares as well. Blessings, Karon Nichols

  116. mamajulie

    Saundra–Praying for your recovery. Take your time with your rehab and give yourself permission to rest until you feel better.

  117. Sara's Sweet Surprise

    Heather & Saundra~My hope is for you both to draw solace and strength from the loving relationship you share. Saudra, from following Heathers blog, my guess is you and I are close in age. As matriarchs our rolls have been played out as the soft place for our children to fall, so it can be frightening in becoming so vulnerable, when our roles are reversed, but we are truly blessed in the realization that our children are a manifestation of the best of what we are. Your sweet daughter will now be your soft place to fall. I would imagine she will make your recovery a comfortable and healing experience with many sweet treats in between.
    Please keep us updated on your progress,
    Sara

    Hello Saundra- I just wanted to tell you prayers are being sent your way for a peaceful recovery from surgery. I haven’t been reading Heathers blog for long, but I am hooked. My mother had open heart surgery a couple of years ago and seeing her go through it and the recovery just made me love her so much more and realize how blessed I was to have her in my life! Without a doubt just from what I have read today your daughter loves you that much and more! Please stay safe and listen to your doctors and especially your daughter for a great recovery. Blessings to you both, Susan
