Allison goes to surgery

My big 10 year old is growing up!
 

I called Allie and told her that a little 10 year old girl was going to have surgery. Allie immediately wanted to bring her a book. Allison showed up at the hospital a little later, with 2 books, a stuffed bear and a purse.
 
We had talked about Allison watching surgery sometime and she wanted to stay and watch Crystal's. I thought Al would be quiet and nervous. However, Allison could not get close enough and didn't want to miss a second of the viewing. She had hundreds of questions and asked every one of them.
 
Allison held Crystal's hand and prayed with her before surgery. Allison chatted and tried to encourage Crystal. After the surgery when Crystal was waking up, Allie stayed right by her side for almost an hour, holding her hand and talking with her. Crystal's appendix had ruptured, so you can pray for her healing.
 
My compassionate little daughter has already asked when we can go up to the hospital to see Crystal today.

What a sweetheart....and what a blessing to be able to raise your kids in such an environment. I can only pray that God will bless us with the same opportunity.
