Birthdays

This year is drawing to a close and mixed right into all the holiday hoopla me and the boy have birthdays.

For his this year (last month) we did something special. Well, our family friends did something special. I try very hard to claim my innocence in the whole thing. There was a quiet dinner with just him and his mom.....until the flash mob arrived. About 20 people I think showed up at the restaurant in party hats, sang happy birthday and left. You see the boy is the poster child for introverts. He doesn't like to be fussed over, he doesn't want to be in the middle of a crowd and lots of a attention. And those that care know this about him... so this is how they shared their love. With a tiny party. And then left him alone. IT WAS GREAT!

Birthdays, and regular days, have a way if getting away from us sometimes. It seems sometimes we are just moving forward waiting for bedtime and cursing at the alarm when it goes off too early. When you cant say what is a good day or bad day....each day MUST matter. If that is going to be a lazy day, then own in. If it going to be a sad day, then own that. But....the next day, MOVE forward. The sun will rise tomorrow and you will be given the gift of another day to do it all again.

Yesterday the boy's best friend came over and they took over the house with the strains of jazz music playing through their trumpets. LOVE IT! I'm reminded that three months ago we were hopefully that he would be able to play. And now he is wailing. It makes my heart.....and my head....burst. OH and the dog doesn't seem to like it too much either. She took to howling along with them. :)

Today we had another doc tor visit. Another round of test results. With hope and the thoughts of getting better, hearing it is gone, remission, moving on...Of course it had to be an adventure, because we don't do simple around here. Test results weren't ready, weren't done at all and then weren't sent over. Depending on who you talked to we got a different answer, but we do know those ALTs are even lower and another month will go by until we have to worry with anything else.
The boy is resting on his computer games. I took a nap. A nap! It is a beautiful day.
