Being a parent is the most heart-wrenching, heartwarming, torturous, exhilarating, painful, joyful, and unbelievably wonderful experience in the world…as you now know. So glad we can share in it together, dear brother.

Love love love love!!! I can come tomorrow to help with your leaves. Or anything else, for that matter.

In fact, I have next week off, and can even stay with you, if you like. Think about it.

(I don’t do windows, though.)

Joe, Do you guys need some in-hospital support? I am more than happy to drive over there, bring you whatever you need, (Starbuck’s, sandwiches, clean clothes, whatEVER!!)

Just say the word.

Thanks for the update Joe

WTF? You know the drill, Joe.
Squeak and squeak loudly or you get nothing.

Our hearts yearn to take away all her pain and yours.
As bad as it is, it will get better.
Remember to smile when you can bear to.
If love was medicine you’d all be home by now.

So, what now? The “tuckered” fb post was “post”, right? Is Eleanor on a strict ice cream diet for a week? Can we come too? Ha ha. You survived. Congratulations. My first thought is you may have been feeling a little like I was before Amy married Michael: giving up one we love to the care of another. Do I understand you to say this will be her last surgery?

She’s in good hands now and she will be in good hands after the surgery is over. I know you know this, but sometimes it helps to hear it from someone else.

Love you guys. Hang in there…

Ha ha. Benny still doesn’t want to go to sleep, and he’s 2-and-a-half! “Time to go to bed, Benny.” “But why? I want to play!” Glad she’s adapting well to you.

Thank you for helping me remember the good times. It makes it easier to let go of the anger.

You have identified the correct mental blockade necessary for such activities. However, as you have also clearly noted, forgiveness and forgetting become simple in the face of more pleasant endeavors like hugging, and ice cream.

Humans, big and small, are far more resilient than we often believe.

I can see she is Daddy’s little girl already & she will have you wrapped around your little finger!
So happy you are home. Congratulations on your new family!
