This book made me cry – and I loved it. It pulled on the strings of my heart for days (maybe weeks) after I finished.
I never remember the names of characters in books, sometimes even when I’m in the middle of reading. I seem to know them innately, recognizing them by their traits from line to line. But if I were to set the book down I couldn’t tell you the name of the person I was just…
The last 48 hours were not a lot by many folk’s standards, but for me it was. Yesterday I worked a normal day, did the grocery shopping, and took care of the weekend’s yard work (mowing, etc). I got in a couple hours sleep before Adam woke up with a bed full of unmentionables. After the laundry got started I got in a couple more hours before he woke up again.

You don’t kick family out of the house when they stop being useful…
The effect was fleeting but appreciated. I finally made an appointment to see a new oncologist and she was really nice.
I’m always nervous about seeing a new doctor. They play an important role in life and I’m afraid of getting one I don’t like or trust. The logical thing to do when this happens is switch, but I usually don’t – not for a while anyway. In fact I’ve only switched doctors…
