There are no words to express my lo...Dear Heather,<br /><br />There are no words to express my love and soul-searching "why" for you at this time. I only want to let you know how you have changed my life. I look forward to every post you make in order to apply it to my life. I enjoy Gabe and my other 3 grandsons much more. I take a look at the "little moments of life", such as Gabe asking me if I'm happy or Gavin telling me what he packed to take to a cousin's house, or Kaden's hockey tournament with him as the goalie, waving joyously to us as the puck slides in the net, and Chase's deep little voice telling me that he loves me. The birth of a baby lamb shows itself as the miracle that it is. Lori's simple poem that says it all. My thoughts, my wishes for you, the spirituality that resides in my soul all go out to you and your family. I love all of you.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695761162185929061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591434792413977641.post-80775899266624306402011-02-20T20:55:59.462-06:002011-02-20T20:55:59.462-06:00Well, uh, hmm.

If so, I know a totally rockin' set of swings and some great climbing trees just off E Davenport. Azalea especially seems like a born tree climber.<br /><br />As ever, you're an inspiration to us all.Franknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591434792413977641.post-42133231021105729512011-02-20T15:27:30.003-06:002011-02-20T15:27:30.003-06:00Remember the kid's joke, why was the number 6 ...Remember the kid's joke, why was the number 6 afraid of number 7? Because 7 ate (8) 9! Well, I say let T7 eat T9, remove any remaining cancer, fuse T8 and T10 and then you should be ready to do the merengue and salsa on the beach! (okay, so Doing the Twist listening to Chubby Checkers may no longer be a possibility).<br /><br />Hang in there Heather. The docs in Iowa City are amazing, so we hope to hear encouraging news on your return. In the meantime... you know the drill: Rest, relax, hug and kiss your girls, and call on the rest of us to help you out.

Guess this Mary Oliver poem will have to suffice. Love you so much Heather K -<br /><br />It doesn't have to be<br />the blue iris, it could be<br />weeds in a vacant lot, or a few<br />small stones; just<br />pay attention, then patch<br /><br />a few words together and don't try<br />to make them elaborate, this isn't <br />a contest but the doorway<br /><br />into thanks, and a silence in which<br />another voice may speak.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09840854228752115251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591434792413977641.post-48218211763385511352011-02-18T20:54:39.039-06:002011-02-18T20:54:39.039-06:00Beak, Mapman is most correct.

Just relax and enjoy the ride, albeit an incredibly bumpy one. <br /><br />It's a little bit like the Tornado at Adventureland...every now and again you think you're going to fly off the tracks, but keep a smile on your face, your hands in in the air, and that rickety ol' cart will take you exactly where you knew it would go the whole time. And don't worry about the kid puking in the cart in front of you, just lean to the side to avoid the spray. He shouldn't have eaten three funnel cakes anyway--we're in the middle of an obesity epedemic, for Christ's sake.mapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823774922331933795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591434792413977641.post-3082463833253194782011-02-18T18:31:08.747-06:002011-02-18T18:31:08.747-06:00Love you brave girl.Love you brave girl.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17752747705610092394noreply@blogger.com
