Reilly’s Mom

Thanks so much for sharing your son’s condition. I can only imagine the struggle you went through in those early years – the fear, the uncertainty – especially at such a young age. But I’m so glad to hear he’s a happy, relatively healthy teenager with the best medical care available to him. I know what a relief it is to have doctors you trust. I will continue to be strong – at this point, it’s the only thing I know to do.

Debbie

Thank you for thinking of my mom & keeping her in your prayers, too. I’ve not yet been able to contact her, but I’ve got the phone card recharged & will try to get a hold of her tomorrow morning, my time. Saturday night for yall.

Nancy

Hi, Nancy – I’m so glad to hear you enjoy the blog! I sometimes wonder how I must come across on this thing. I tend to write later at night when I’m more tired, more mellow…and sometimes that doesn’t make the best first impression…or the most sense. But thanks so much for commenting – I’m happy to meet another military wife! Even if you’re now retired & living the civilian life. ; )

Alicia

I laughed at your comment & I needed that. So thanks for the chuckle! I try to write more “family-friendly”, but that’s not always what I’m thinking – and you pretty much nailed it.

Sarah

Thank you. And by the way, Maggie is very appreciative to know she still has a fan club out there. She’s been feeling pretty jealous these last few weeks & I’ve been meaning to write a post or two about her. But as always…something else seems to come up first.

Tee

Unfortunately, that’s the hard part – not worrying. I can only go for so long & then it pops back up. But if you know a trick, I’ll take it.

Thank you SO much for understanding the ‘you’ll be fine’ bit. If I was to ever break down & write up my top 10 pet peeves, that would be number 1. And yeah…in an odd, off-color & completely disturbing way…“yoo have some-ting in yoor brain” was pretty funny the second time I said it out loud. Telling Eric the first time – not so funny. But that will be one of those memories that will stay with me forever & will always make me laugh at the thought of it. I’m weird that way – just one of those people who make light of things when it hits the fan.
