Hanging In


This has been such a hard week. I cannot believe the amazing outpouring of kindness following the loss of Leasha. We've had parent volunteers constantly and teachers from Webster Elementary (2nd & 3rd grade building) came over during their breaks to give our teachers extra breaks. We had breakfast and lunch provided for us and let me tell you, Room 8 was FULL of food all day long! I'm pretty sure my diet is beyond crashed for this week, I am being a huge stress eater right now but I've decided to let it slide, obviously there are bigger things to worry about.
Tomorrow we are having Leasha DeCamp day at school. Leasha ALWAYS wore tons of jewelry. I mean TONS! I'm told she had an entire room of jewelry at home! I believe it, she had every color, shape, size, holiday etc. it was so her! So tomorrow we are all going to wear our wildest ensemble with all the jewelry to boot to celebrate Leasha. Those who know me well know that I am not a flashy dresser and I NEVER wear jewelry! I wear my wedding ring and my Past/Present/Future necklace Scott gave me a few years ago. Well, tonight my mom and I went shopping and every new outfit I got has a necklace to go with it ;) Leasha will be so proud!

I am proud of you too ... your strength and positive outlook,despite all the sadness,is one of the reasons I love you so.

Continued prayers for you all flowing from California.

Cammie I cannot get Leasha out of my mind. she just sounds like such a ball of sunshine, I am so sad this has happened. The image that I cannot get out of my mind is when you wrote that you went to see her at the hospital and her girls were coming in with pictures for her.
Know that we are keeping her and her family in our prayers.

I can't even imagine the loss that is being felt with this wonderful lady, having been taken away from so many! This truly breaks my heart! You, and the many, are on my heart and in my thoughts and prayers! HUGS!!!

I can't even imagine how you must feel. A whole school full of children were thrust into something us moms worry about every day. The loss of someone close. How great that everyone is chipping in to help!
