Day 3 - At Home

It is Remembrance Day and the whole family is home from work/school.  I had a lovely time just sitting at the breakfast table and talking with Matthew this morning creating some "normal family rhythms".  The kids are so happy to see me come downstairs with him first thing in the morning.  They don't know I come mostly to get the drugs I need asap - but that's ok.

We saw a large blue heron from the creek dome swooping up on our back fence this morning.  We were all staring with delight and the kids were totally in awe.  We see them fly through the back wilderness/creek where we live often, but never on our property.  After a few moments on the back fence the heron swopped up onto our back deck just 6 feet away from where we could see it through the window.  A little magical moment this morning.

I am tired, aching from "bone pain" and food is not that appealing.  My face looks sunburned and after my hour or so with everyone downstairs I am ready to retreat.  I am pleased to be sitting up and typing, but will soon need to turn on Netflix and settle into another world very shortly.

Sara Jane - When I think of you many words come to mind - vitality, strength, wisdom, happiness, fun, loving, kind, generous, sincere, integrity, honesty, ambitious - the list of wonderful words are endless. We spent many years at Leaside High together then met up again at McMaster. I think of the piano playing, choir singing, saxophoning, giggling and enjoyment playing music. I am thinking of you lots SJ. Wishing you healing thoughts, best wishes, positive energy and a full recovery :) Lindsay xo
