Buon giorno Principessa

From the movie Life is Beautiful, it means "Good morning, Princess". If you've never seen this movie, rent it! Kass had a hankering to watch this movie within in the past two weeks. This movie has received dozens of international awards - even though it's a comedy about the holocaust.

One of Kass's favorite sub-plots is the "Buon giorno, Principessa!" romance between the main characters. Most enduring, he never stops reassuring his love for her through his words and actions - even in the most awful situations.

At Children's hospitals, they have Life Care Specialists that come by often to see after the emotional aspects of all four of us. A few days ago (the days all blend) I asked her to paint me a sign that said "Buon giorno, Principessa!". She left it outside so I could surprise Kass while she slept. It took hours and hours (& hours) for her to fall asleep, but when she finally did, I taped it on her wall. (Whew! She only slept for 6 minutes) When Kass woke, she saw the sign, and lifted one corner of her mouth, saying, "How'd you do that?". Didn't even get 1 dimple, but I know she liked it as much as she could under the circumstances.

I sit on my cat dog bench staring at that poster often. What can I do TODAY to simply show my love to Kevin, Kimber, and Kass? Today, I will make an effort to think of ways to make the little things show how much I love them all.

Buon giorno, Principessa! Kass slept 10 hours last night, then woke up with her pain at a 4, and announced she intends to go home...TODAY. Though I've been showered and ready for hours, I let Kimber sleep. Can't wait to go see my baby for myself, but trying to show Kim my love by not rushing her.
