My life has been in a cave since Caitin's surgery
She can hear so much better, we have to whisper
the refrigerator coming on wakes her up.
I remember when she was sick when she was bitty....
how I could rock her and sing to her.....
how I could fix anything that was wrong...
she's sure, now at 16, that all her pain is somehow my fault.
she is better today.
She got her stitches out .
When she pointed at a tissue she dropped on the floor and asked me to get it, I officially declared her post-surgical recovery complete!
For Father's Day, we planted a tree.
He brought it home and stuck it in some dirt in a cup
Now it's taller than me and we put it in the ground.
It's what I love about Tom
he sees the potential for magic
in everyday things
other people walk by thoughtlessly,
like rocks
he's always handing them to me, saying,"look, this is a great rock to hold in your hand. Put it in your pocket."
If I ever fall in the water, I will surely drown !
We took Tori to Girl Scout camp. It was a nice ride. I wish I was going with her.

Reminds me of when my Aunt first had a hearing aid. She went to the toilet and was astounded! She said she never knew having a wee sounded like Niagra Falls!!
Think I'm a bit like hubby, I go around saving everything I can.

SO happy that Caitin is doing better. I'm sure you feel relieved. That's so good of Tom to bring the tree home. Now it's a nice growing thriving tree. Something like that. I'm don't have a green thumb.
A happy entry and much good news! Bookmark this day!!

I love that your husband sees the beauty in rocks. That's something to really hold on to in a man.
I like these kind of poems! Gerry
