Holding The Future

chapter 29 risky decisions

Ryan talking

I make the decision to have them ship Abby to Washington for the surgery the doctor says that we will be leaving first thing in the morning. pastor Bruce offers to pay for my ticket so that I can go with my wife since they wont allow me to ride in the plane that they are transporting her on. I didn't want my pastor to buy the ticket to Washington for me but to be honest we really didn't really have the money to buy the plane ticket. I decide not to spend the night with Abby tonight just so I can spend a little time with the kids and explain to them that mommy and I wont be home for a few days. Keirston begs me to keep her posted after all Abby is her sister even if its not biologically so. my plane leaves at noon so I have brother Caleb drop me off at the airport. I grab my bags and head for security.

Ryan left early this morning to fly to Washington to be with his wife. I have made the decision to keep all 4 of the kids at night and Keirston will keep the twins during the day since they aren't quite old enough to be in school. ive had the chance to spend some time with the oldest boy Cody he reminds me so much of Abbys little brother Ashton which is also codys uncle. he is about the same age Ashton was when I started spending time with him. I decided that since it was Thursday that after school I would take both Autumn and Cody out for a ice cream to help them get their minds off their mom for a bit.

I have the boys at my house they are playing in the play room with tanner. Its now 11:45 and I ask the kids if they'd like to go to McDonald's for lunch they all say yes which i expected and get ready to go. We get to the restaurant and i tell the kids to tell me what they want before they go play in the play place.  They all tell me they want the same thing a chicken nugget kids meal with a gogurt not apples and chocolate milk. As for me and Zach we both get quarter pounders with cheese and green chili we both get a large Pepsi and fries. Our food finally comes and I call the kids down from playing to come eat. After they finish I give them 10 more minutes to play then it's time to go.
