While looking through a Real Simple magazine at the dentist office, Mom and I stumbled across this word. I had to look it up just now because I didn't know what it meant. But now I do, so I can educate you. Inimitable means, "incapable of being imitated or copied; surpassing imitation; matchless". Inimitable is a pretty great word. In fact, I know the perfect example to explain it better.
Last night was inimitable. One and a half cups of coffee and a few tears later, I feel like I can actually write about it. I got a my first hug from Gary in two years and I have to say that my heart was full. At one part I was sitting up on the bed and Gary climbed up next to me and snuggled in my arms. It was too much... I started sobbing like a big baby. I forgot how much I love that kid and how much I'll always love him. He was so sweet. Last night was so overwhelming that now it seems like one big blur. But, I was up with Gary by myself and it felt like home. This sounds ridiculously corny but if you have ever had to say goodbye to a child that captured your heart, you know how I feel. Gary took part of my heart with him to Arizona and last night, for 4 short hours, that piece was back. Tonight that piece is missing again and I don't know when it'll come back. It hurts so much. Please pray for me, friends. I knew this hurt was coming, it just hit harder than I thought it would. God is good. He gave me Gary back for what he felt necessary and I'm so thankful for it. But it hurts to have him taken away again.
On a happy note, I got my drivers license today and had a good dentist appointment.
On an even happier note, I saw something yesterday that made me laugh. This man got out of his car and I here him going, "Come here... come on, come here...". And behind him comes this little pig with a pink collar. Honest, this really did happen. A man was walking his pig outside of Subway. It was pretty cute. Try and picture that. :-) It makes a funny picture.

I *do* know what it is like to say goodbye to kids that hold little "pieces of your heart". It is so so hard.
ReplyDeletehaha! The story about the pig makes me laugh.
