one good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain
It has been quiet around here. Honestly, I have too much to say. I’ve let it all build up, and now I don’t know where to begin, how to start, or when it would end. I feel that I have a hard enough time completing a sentence, nevermind a paragraph, when I’m joking around or complaining about work…now that I’ve got something important to say, I don’t feel that I can do it justice.
Our son, Samson Daniel, has been diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS).
Erika has all of the words for this, and I need to take the easy way out (for now) just so that I can be caught up — I need to have a release here, but taking two week of feelings and recounting them will only keep me two weeks behind all the time. I don’t think I have that luxury.

ok…that about brings you up to date — most likely, if you’re reading this, you’ve read all of those posts when Erika wrote them the first time.
