sometimes life comes at you fast. like one moment you are folding your laundry and packing your bag in the living room and the next thing you know you are in the emergency room, pacing the floor because you dont know what to think or do in moments of panic, or in hospitals. doctors offices and hospitals are never easy.

but then at the end of the day, you sit there over a big pot of spaghetti with sauce made with way too much meat and you dont know what to say, because his stubbornness (which you no doubt inherited doubly) and pride is something you shouldnt mess with anymore after a stressful day like that. it doesnt matter anyway when the boy sitting next to you grabs your hand and asks something about the latest new device to add to the Harley, and the stubborn man smiles and starts a conversation that will inevitably last another 30 minutes.

and that is when you know it will be ok. maybe he wont feel great tonight, and will have trouble sleeping, but the way he perked up when something of interest came up you knew it wasnt like last time.

life comes at you fast sometimes. im glad there are people there when i need it to slow down....
