rocking the boat

Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking.  There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught. Don't try to be different.  Just be good.  To be good is different enough.  -unknown

one step at a time

today mom took her first steps. the surgery was yesterday. new legs. well, actually knees. but i like to call them "new legs". i don't like seeing my mom in pain. it's hard to watch. she's been pretty doped up since yesterday... and has fallen asleep in the middle of most every conversation we've had. it's ok though. rest heals the body and i know she needs that. she has a long road ahead of her... but i know she will deal with it incredibly. she's my mom. and raising 3 boys makes one strong. you can do it, momma. i love you.
