...at the aftermath of worry.
...i love my mom. I loved Charlie's squeal today, his deep breath inhale, when he walked down the stairs and realized she was here. I loved watching Clara cruise around my mom's legs tonight, stopping to examine her socks and slippers, her little hands exploring gamma's ankles. I cling to these moments because right now I need something to cling to.


I am so sorry. I will be praying for her and your entire family, I mean it. Enjoy your visit with her, I am glad she is there. I am sure being with your kids helps keep her mind off of things.
