Thank you so much for your words. I internalize them, but it's nice to hear them from another's lips (or keyboard). Believe me, her blessings FAR outweigh her difficulties, but I guess I'm never too far from wishing things were different for her.
More than anyone, I know what her gifts are. And there are days when I would gladly trade my so-called intelligence for her outlook on life. It would be far easier to live that way. But who would be talking to D10 about boys and sex?
Maybe Merrick, since he wants to be introduced to Mr. E?
Uh, Merrick, I don't think you're going to be eligible for entry to the church if you want that type of R with him. Plus even though you ARE each other's types? I'm pretty sure he would rather commit adultery with me than you!
Hey, you know that I'm laughing as I write this, right?
I'm still bummed about hockey season, and resigned to sitting this year out on the bench. We don't have the minor league teams here like you do. Plus, if Mr. E. can't find it in his heart to accept the fact that I'm really in love with Joe Sakic, well, I don't know what I'll do....
Too bad Joe is already happily married with 3 kids of his own. But he lives really close to my church, so maybe I could sneak through those electronic gates and give him a surprise? Naked? Would you come visit me in jail?
Enough of this, because I really have to get to work. It was a painfully busy day yesterday and I foresee more of the same today.
Take care!
Betsey
p.s. Pen, Mr. E. is as lucky as I am!
