Amazing

I swear sometimes. . . .if my grandfather was still alive, he'd be stunned at the ways technology has brought our world even closer together. I'm speaking of my Grandpa Knowles. . . my Poppa Heim lived a lot longer, so he saw modern conveniences. He even had a satellite dish in his yard for a while.

But my Grandpa Knowles would be stunned at technology. While I'm typing this, Duran Duran is performing LIVE at Wembley Stadium. And, I'm seeing it as it happens. And yes, I did tear up as Elton John opened the concert with "Your Song."

It's been a [rough] couple days since I've posted. Suffice it to say that I'm doing better. . .now. Not fun. But better.

Before Mark and Caroline left for church this morning, he sat her on the couch next to me. That was sweet. I wish I knew how she was taking all of this. I haven't held, or *really* hugged her since last Monday. She's not used to always seeing Mommy laying on the couch. She's certainly not used to seeing Mommy asleep on the couch every morning. I'm sure she's doing fine processing it all. . .but I'd love to be able to explain it all to her.

To my dear friends in Canada. . .you know who you are. . .Happy Canada Day! And, to my dear, sweet, wonderful, funny, irreverent friend Melany. . . Happy Birthday, girl! I'd do anything to celebrate with you today. I'd love to go to that pancake breakfast with you, and to play BINGO, and to your parents' for a cookout.

. . .maybe next year.
