You've Got a Friend in Mommy

Periodic Paralysis episodes make your body so tired and your muscles ache. It's exhausting. Princess has begun having multiple paralysis episodes every day. Thankfully, she is only weak and not fully paralyzed yet, but that doesn't change how her muscles feel after an episode. I am so very thankful that since this is God's plan for her that I was given the priviledge to walk the path before her. I am so thankful to have gasped for air, to have joints dislocated, hospital stays and multiple exercise EMG tests. I can walk before her, hopefully with grace, and know ... truly know how she feels. I don't want anyone to ever have Periodic Paralysis, much less Princess or King. But, since it is reality for Princess, I want her to know that just like Buzz Lightyear says, "You've got a friend in me".

And since this is the week of You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB2gPZRsz0Q

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
Just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got troubles, well I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and we see it through
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you the way I do
It's me and you
And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see
It's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
