You count, sweetheart, most definitely.

I hope there is no crash for you. I hope there's more of a slow "winding". That's my hope for you. Know I care.

Me? I'm doing good. Recovery from surgery is going well and I see the neurosurgeon again on the 3rd to check the fusion progress.

I'm busy with my boys. Little David started kindergarten this week and it's been very emotional for me. I'm still helping youngest manage her illness(es) and what it can do to her emotions, while helping her with my little angel...her boy who is almost 14 months now.

I saw my littlest angel today as well. He's almost 10 mos. now and too cute too. My oldest and her hubby are packing up for 8 days in NC with their best friends who moved last year. They've not seen the baby and it's all very exciting. I went in to get him from his nap and surprise him and he saw it was me and there was an IMMEDIATE SMILE, followed by a giggle...so happy to see hims mammaw.

He recognizes his song now (I've made up songs for all my babies and my daughters wanted me to do it for my grandbabies too. I have and they both know it's their song (it has their name in it).

I started and he just smiled and looked into my eyes:

Bright eyes and a button nose
Gift from God, Heaven knows
Mama's pride and daddy's boy
But Ethan James is mammaw's joy

Wants to run before he walks
Learned to sing before he talked
Brightest smile there is around
Sweetest boy in this whole town

Ethan James you shine so bright
All my heart filled with your light
Ethan James, son, you must know
That your mammaw loves you so!

Hehe. Well, he loves it.

You're gonna be alright, hon.
