Kat: I used to think he was going to come through the MLC tunnel after some time but after 10 years - I'd pretty much given up. But I do think some realizations come with age - MLC or no MLC.

I was not with my 2 younger kids and I thought it would be hard but they both called me. Ashley had given me a nice gift a week ago and then added me to Facebook again yesterday (after numerous requests)- I was touched!

Ryan was with me and his new nurses helped him buy a gift and card and hold the pen to write it out. And Josh cooked breakfast for me and despite the fact we had to clean the cottage and go to the dump - we also got out in the boat and I had a fantabulous day!

How was your day? Good I hope. Some of my friends had lousy days but I think it comes down to expectations a lot of the time.
