purple day (a picture marathon)


We purpled it up today for Trevor and all the other brave seizure fighters around the world!



How cool are these two?




It's handy that purp has always been Bri-bee's fave color...


but even Tobes was excited to root through his closet until he found something with a hint of purple! His own idea...no mommy pressure involved!

::sniffle sniffle::




All for that guy up there... The one with the cheesy grin...who likes to spill milk (any liquid really) ALL over mommy's freshly mopped floors! That habit's getting really old...


We wear purple for him...


Our very own little seizure fighter hero!





I know we...





make it look easy...







n' stuff....








but seriously...







snapping a pic with Trevy...




i


is kinda like huggin' a greased pig! Not that I would know or anything... I'm not from NE you know!


::grin::







We even convinced Jonathan joined the purple party...




Grab your magnifying glass...




lean in reeeeeeal close...




shut one eye tight...




then blink ten times rapidly...




And you'll see it! The itsy bitsy lavender pin-stripe! Easy to miss...but it's there!





You should wear purple more often, Babe...



I think it's hot!



::wink::





Okay sooooo...



I don't typically get into things like Purple Day (does that make me snob?).



Buuuuuut...



I really needed an outlet to invest energy into a happy...positive...warm n' fuzzy stuff!



Besides I've gotta say...



It was stinkin' overwhelming how many people FB-ed...emailed...called...to say they'd be wearing purple for Trevy! (and by default his fam...and seizure fighting friends...) That was a much needed heart boost at exactly the right time! Thank you...







I say let's do this again next year!

I wore purple for Trevor, my son and everyone else on the planet who deals with this. Just helps to send out the positive vibes.

I think this is a wonderful cause to help get the word out about those suffering Epilepsy and other seizure disorders... I can see this getting bigger and bigger each year.
There was a time when I didn't talk about my Epilepsy but now, I'm beginning to feel a little more relaxed about it!
Hugs to you all... you are a very strong family! =)

Thanks for the support all! I was happily surprised by all the peopl who contacted me to say they were wearing purple in honor of Trevy. It's so crazy how something that seems so small can mean so much...ya know.

btw Michele I popped in at your site...love your pics! If you're ever my way...and inclined to give rookie some pointers...*smile*

Sadly, I had nothing purple so I wore purple's cousin, a bluish purple. Kay wore head to toe purple. Even had purple on her shoes ;) Next year I'll have a purple shirt. It was nice to see all my IRL friends wearing purple though!

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

I was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
