MMB took this on the TGV a few years back. It's so Fredrick isn't it? Hard to tell who is explaining something important to whom.
I loved dressing him in overalls without a shirt (ahh the power! ) because I could so easily touch that baby skin whenever I wanted. And I didn't want that shirt in the way.
Anyway it's like Christmas over here as we prepare the house with requisite nourishment for him...
I am also so heavy hearted about my old college friend dying. She is hours away- last rites performed, goodbyes said; but it appears she is not that keen to go.
She is this beautiful and extremely (I don't say that lightly) witty woman who found herself with a particularly virulent case of breast cancer six years ago. And nothing but nothing has she found worthwhile about the process. She has never seen a silver lining; she is doubtful she is going anywhere good, and she is righteously pissed off. It breaks my heart, the poignancy of her saying goodbye to her children.
As I was writing the above, I got the text that she had in fact died.
Pray for her will you guys? Christine- my beautiful hilarious friend.
And ask God to bring my kid home safely tomorrow; so I can have one more day.
