Things have returned to relative normality here... Mom will see her doctor tomorrow, Dad's stable, and even the dog is better. It was a stressful day... scrambling to cover. I was exhausted by the time we got through dinner (the turkey turned out fine, despite improvisation on cooking techniques).

I found a nap spot... the rental car, outside in the driveway. (Pat was sprawled across our bed, and my mother wouldn't leave me alone when I dozed off on the couch). Then... my sister-in-law, the one undergoing chemotherapy, had a grand mal seizure... once it was over and she was stabilized, she and my brother and kids departed. Played board games afterward, until my sister suspira20 departed likewise.

And a happy Chanukah festival season for those who celebrate it. :)

From my son James, in an LJ comment... Consider the people you know as the little chain links in the mail jacket that is your community. In a way, if you don't wear it in battle, you fall that much faster when the sword of fate hands you a cruel blow. - James Best wishes and prayers to dancing_star and her family.

I was really, really touched by that comment that James wrote. Definitely a moment to be proud of him!

Your son's comment...Powerful stuff...

(I am sorry your life is rockin' and rolling. Hang in there. Prayers are with you.)

Sounds like you've had one of those "exciting" Christmases as well. *hugs* And yet you sound upbeat and that is good. *more hugs* And yes, I was so proud of him when I read that in her journal. Good young man you've got there.
