When I first asked Mom about those times, she said, "But that's all over now." Not for me! It's not really as much about what I went through as how those places were an entire world. I was only there 3 times for about 3 months at a time, but there were many kids that stayed for much longer. It was terrifying but I grew up quick. It made me stronger--kinda like what your family went through. We all have crosses. I miss you! Much Love, Tether Ball Failure :-)
As an elder dealing with constant pain, it is my daily goal to infect the world with humor.

Hi ho, Ed,
That's the spirit. Laughter keeps us from crying. Keep up your infecting.

These stories are wonderful - I knew you were at the hospital - but I never knew what you went through. So glad you are sharing them now.
