Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

by my favorite poet, Mary Oliver

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Get well soon Dad. We love you.

     My Dad had surgery this morning to re-replace his left knee.  It was a 5 hour surgery; it took 3 hours just to remove the old knee replacement.  But he got through it okay.  Wish him well everyone.   He is 84 years young. 

"The family.  We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together."     Erma Bombeck
