the sun is the same in a relative way

Y’all, I am worn the hell out.

It’s been a week. We kinda have a routine. Most of the doctor visits are behind us (we think, or should I say, for now). We have helpers coming to check in on her, and help her exercise, and do other great things.

But, it never ends. It’s like adding a fourth kid.

I don’t know how I’m gonna make it through this.

Things that almost made me cry this week:
a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
my checking account three weeks before Christmas.
when the fourth person told me her insurance won’t cover something.
when Marie lost on Dancing with the Stars.

Just kidding about one of those.

coming to the table

A little milestone, sure, but a milestone nontheless.

Grammy sat at the breakfast table with us this morning, for the first time since her fall (a week and five hours ago, in case you’ve lost count)

Okay, “with” us is a stretch, because by the time she made it, the kids were done eating. But it’s not her fault that my son can inhale six waffles in two minutes, is it?

Baby steps, y’all. Baby steps.

what he said.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

– Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882) American Essayist & Poet
