The Jebber Family Blog

Today Patrick and I volunteered for the Children's Hospital Have a Heart Do Your Part Radiothon. All week long I have been practicing to not cry...quite unsuccessfully.
Sooo, I began bawling in the car on the way there. A heavy sob began to break out as I walked through the parking deck and continued on as I entered the doors. The thought of sick babies, hurting was so overwhelming for me. I tried to focus on the fact that I was there to help, and that the money we were collecting was going to help these babies to recover. I was a mess! I had to focus on willing my phone to ring(not many phones were ringing), just so that I wouldn't focus on the thought of babies being sick, and sad families. I'm not sure if you know this about me, but I tend to be a little bit of a storm cloud on occasions. Today I felt stormy. But my dark clouds had a few silver linings. Patrick got quite a few high donations on his line. They thought he was their good luck charm! I however, had to resort to calling my friends and family and begging. It worked! Thanks Friends and Family!! Even though I was an emotional wreck, I am glad that we did it. And I'm even happier that we got to do this together. Hopefully next year we will raise more!
