It's raining tonight--a soft gentle rain that not only heals the thirsty world, but is a balm on our frayed psyches. Dear Daughter finishes homework while I try and think of a way to put into words all of the emotions that are swirling around us.
Tomorrow is Mom's surgery. She's in a good place. We're as safe as we can be.
On the way home from dinner Dear Daughter started crying and telling me about how worried she is about her grandmother. She said she was sorry for crying, so we talked about how love for the people around us sometimes fills us up so much that it leaks out of our faces in the form of tears. We're both a little leaky tonight.
I doubt if I'll be able to blog much in the next couple of days. Check Mom's Caring Bridge website (www.caringbridge.org, then enter her name) for updates on her condition. I'll work on that site as soon as I can.
Oh, a special shout-out to Fine Old Famly, the Produce Man, e, Ry-Guy, Kim the Book Fairy, the Lunch Bunch and Master Chief BA for knowing what to say and how to say it. Thanks ever so much.

We'll miss you over the next couple days at work and will be glad to have you back on Friday. Meanwhile, know that our thoughts are with you and your family.
(And I still think we should clone Dear Daughter.)
Thanks so much. I miss everyone, but am relieved to be able to be with mother. And there are definitely days where I would LOAN you Dear Daughter!!
