LITTLE WONDERS: July- When the going gets tough...we go to Mika's

Sometimes things happen in life that you will never understand why they happened. No matter how many times you replay it in your head, it is what it is, and life must go on. All your faith is tested and every ounce of hope you have in your body is called on. Whereas no one will ever know how, or the why, or really any details (yes even if you inquire), prayers are always needed
and friendship is always welcome. It is also during these times, you know where your head can rest. Where you can go and the pain will be eased and life will seem happier...even if just for a bit.

Mika has been a best friend of mine since before Cohen was born (if we had met earlier in life I am sure we would of hit off great and been friends longer). We met at WSU, both being members of Delta Gamma. She was one of the first to know about Cohen and has continued to be the first to know about almost everything else in my life too:) Through everything, the good, the bad, the happy, and sad, she has been there. I have more love for her in my heart than she will ever know, and that was all before this trip! So when she sensed I needed an escape, she offered her home, AND welcomed the kiddos. Thank GOD she is a kindergarten teacher and has enormous amounts of patience for other people's kids. Nevertheless, the munchkins and I took a little trip to KC for some time to get away and regroup. Mika had everything planned and all the kiddos favorite foods....mine too on hand. Games, movies, adventures, and tons of friendship and love lined up. It was a great trip and she really made the beginning of long journey....hopeful...(like a typical delta gamma girl).
