Importance of Family

Tam is trying so hard to do what is right to get better as fast as she can.  Tam is trying to eat as many meals as she can.  Tam will ask, "How many proteins is in that?" or "I can learn to like that if it has that many proteins."

If only Tam's stomach could hold more and digest quicker. When Tam woke up this morning her stomach still felt full like it was undigested.  Tam says it is like her stomach is trying to figure out how all the pieces work together or still needs wake up again.

Tam's thoughts are always with her family.  While they are not close in proximity, they are not far from Tam's heart!  She has their beautiful family picture by her bedside so she can see them every night before she falls asleep.  Their is a beautiful saying on the picture frame 'It's a blessing to be surrounded by faces that we love'. Without a doubt, Tam sure misses and loves her family.  She knows this is the best place for her to be to get well right now but she knows that it is hard on everyone she loves as well as herself. 

Madison ... Thank you for your thoughtfulness for leaving your favorite 'lamy pillow' for you mom!  When I went to wash to your pillow case, Tam told me the whole story about how your 'lamy pillow' helped her through some tough times, and that she sleeps with it every night!! Bless your heart!! Tam is proud of Maddie landing her new job... way to go Madison!!

Tam is excited for Tiana getting ready to go off to college and proud to be the mother of Tiana, but she is so sad that she is not there with Tiana to help her get ready for her first day.  Tami is so grateful for Van's wife Tami and daughter Brooke for helping Tiana get ready for college.  Tami did not think that she would be away this long and wishes so badly that she could be there to be a part of such a monumental period in Tiana's life.

Tam is so proud of Cali finishing her Art class at college. Tam says that with Cali's creative abilities, she hopes that Cali will pursue her dreams, find her passion, and be able to find a niche allowing her to use her natural artistic, creative abilities. 

Tim, the backbone, lifeline of the family and love and sweetheart of Tam's life! She adores him and is so Thankful for Tim for holding down the fort and juggling home, work, family, and all the demands of Tami's absence.

Tam loved talking to her mamma, Blanche, this morning, and Blanche thought Tami's voice was sounding stronger and better than when she was in the hospital.  Tami's mamma feels she know  what pain Tami's going through since Blanche has gone several surgeries herself.  With it comes a very slow healing process to recover...Baby Steps, so to speak. 

Bless Tami with your prayers.

Take Care,
Amy Paris
