Run for Sabrina

Today I ran a great 6 miles. I headed towards Andersonville, and did 3 miles there and 3 miles back. The weather was good and sunny, and it was just fine for a 6 mile run.

My thoughts though during the run turned to my youngest niece, Sabrina. She is one of the sweetest children you will ever meet. She has Downs Syndrome, and has a number of issues going against her. One of those issues is her eye sight.

Tomorrow she is having eye surgery to attempt to correct and strengthen her eye muscles. If successful, she will see so much better and clearly. So as I ran, I prayed that all would go well the the surgery. I thought about how she really doesn't understand what is going on, and how would you explain it to her?

My sister took her to Miami today for the surgery. I wish I could be there. I hate for my sister to go through this alone. I also hope Sabrina won't be scared.

As I ran I thought about how much joy she brings, and how loving she is. I just want everything to be ok for my little pumpkin.
