Second, because my little girls are like a little chickadee, flitting and flighting here and there, and so cute to watch, they can make a mess, they are strong, for being small, they are beautiful. Now let me explain Nana.
Almost 7 years ago, my mom ( aka Nana) was diagnosed with Terminal Colon/ liver cancer. She was given 6 months to a year to live. I was 7 months pregnant with Lady Tor Tor when we got this horrible news. Back up a few years, here. For 6 years prior to this my husband and I had been battling infertility. We had gone through every test, and procedure to have a family, every thing but IVF. One of our many prayer warriors was Nana. Who so faithfully prayed for our gift of life. We did go through IVF, and we gave birth to a beautiful little girl, she is our only surviving baby out of 12 embryo's. She really is our miracle, not to say the others aren't either, but Nana called Baby Tor Tor, Her baby Joy! Nana lost her battle when Lady Tor Tor was 7 weeks old. Nana was so afraid she would not meet this miracle of life, because we lived on opposite sides of the country. God allowed for this to happen, and we treasure the few photo's we have of Nana holding and loving on her little grand daughter. The day that nana died, a little bird feeder hung from the window in the hospice, and of all the birds to come to the feeder with in minutes, I mean minutes of her dying was a little chickadee. I was not there the moment my mom joined Jesus in Heaven, I missed it by what felt like seconds. but I saw that little black capped chickadee, landing at the feeder, almost stopping to peek inside. I knew in that moment, my mom was saying good bye. My mom's favourite bird in the world was a chickadee. She collected little pictures of them, and loved to watch them, talked about them so often. It reminds me, and helps to keep the memory of a Nana my children will never really know, when we talk about chickadee's we always end up talking about Nana. Some people think I might be crazy. I don't really care. I have my beliefs and they have theirs. So we decided to call it Chickadee homeschool. Now the caption names on their photo's are nick names. Our other two students are also miracles in their own way. They are God's way of telling us that He is in Control, Not us. We call Lady Tor Tor our 10,000 dollar baby, and the other 3, freebies. 😉. We are very blessed to have the family that we do, and we try to remember to not take them for granted. Some days in the moments of lack of sleep it is hard to remember the nights of literally being on my knee's begging for a baby to the God of life and love, to grant us that chance to be parents. Welcome to our little class, soon to be 4 students, but we will update the roster in July!!
Blessings
Mommy AK
