What it is, is a moment of clarity. And what you hope for is more and more of those as time goes by. If her therapy is effective, and if you can continue to hold the reins at home till she is able to contribute, I think you will see more and more of these.
I'm glad Duncan has brought a good thing to the family on several different fronts. Pets are much more than pets, as any of us who have them know.
I'll also chime in and tell you what an awesome job you did with your son at the baseball field the other day. As a coach myself, I can tell you how rare it is to have a parent, particularly a Dad, who is not trying to live vicariously through their child, and in the process making the whole experience terrible for the kid. Sports bring so many positives to our kids. But bad parents can make sports just another activity that kids dread to do. Thanks for being one of the great Dad's who realize that the kid is so much more important than the game.
Enjoy the good times. Use these memories to give you strength during the difficult times. I honestly believe she is trying.
Blessings,
Bill
