“When the rains came, the tears burned, windows rattled, locks turned
It’s easy to be generous when you’re on a roll
It’s hard to be grateful when you’re out of control
And love is gone
The light at the edge of the curtain
Is the quiet dawn;
The bedroom breathes
In clicks and clacks
Uneasy heartbeat, can’t relax…”
~ Paul Simon, who says it all for me today.
The Never Normal 
My Dad has often told me: “Life’s a struggle… enjoy the struggle…”
Sometimes I phone him up and say, “Dad, I think I am getting too much enjoyment out of life!”
Hang in there Amy… thinking of you!

Dear Amy,
I was reviewing the week’s notes from my phone this afternoon when I came upon the name of your blog which you had shared with me at your dental appointment. Looking for a reason to take a break from the heat and endless gardening, I opened up the laptop and searched for your blog. That was 2 HOURS AGO!
I have not been able to stop reading, thinking, crying, smiling, worrying, laughing, but mostly just caring. It’s like the book you weren’t certain you needed to read and when you finished it, you hugged it.
Your life with your beautiful son Jonah has touched me in a way I didn’t know was possible. I only see you twice a year in 45 minute blocks of time (mostly discussing Halloween costumes, flossing, and my crazy co-workers) and now I wished I had taken the time to ask you more about all that I have read here today.
As this new chapter of your life with Jonah begins, please know that I will be thinking of you, praying for you, and anxiously awaiting each new thought as your journey continues.
With kind regards and friendship,
Patti
