Hi care. Long time no see.

so the schedule with the kids is more hectic as it is just me juggling all the balls at once.

Which isn't all that different than normal except that you're probably running twice as hard/much. Right?

S11 had football yesterday and took a helmet to the head and did a roll that left him woozy. off to the hospital in an ambulance, sirens wailing, strapped to a board, the whole bit. Pretty scary stuff. He is fine thankfully, but 6 hours in the ER was no fun.

Yikes. That must have been pretty scary. Good to hear he's doing fine, but I wonder about a concussion and whether he might not be better off sitting out a little while? Then again, what do I know, vs. the kind of doctor that helps people.

Great seeing Swashy, SOTS, Rainbowlove and Exiled again. Fantastic to meet Morgan, ATGO and Lord Greenville.

Though very different than the first one. Nice to see those familiar faces and nice to meet some new ones, though in some ways I wish I hadn't, simply because of the reason for meeting. I wish I had spoken to LG a bit more, though.

Darn Sox lost though.

Rough one, that's for certain. I keep trying for some level of detachment, but it just doesn't work.

Spoke with a wise DB'er that evening as well. And he suggested posting more.

Sometimes you take and sometimes you give. For the time being I think you don't worry about giving back until you're sure you have you taken care of and have some semblance of stability between you and H...

Not that I feel I am over the hump yet

What would you tell me? Maybe it's more of a journey and maybe you're never exactly over the hump, but just further and further removed from where you are now... Though probably time and healing will make you feel a little more comfortable with where you stand.

but my H has definitely recommited, we go to MC every other week, and we are working on things.

And hopefully it stays that way.

But I've setting a goal to post more. If not on my own thread, at least to check in on others.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like this post contains two big themes:

Why did my M survive and others didn't?

What can I do to help pay back all the 'help' that these others gave me?

There really is no way to get an answer to the first one; that's more philosophy/theology than I'd care to take on.

The second one though?

Maybe you don't need to.
