My favorite punctuation mark is the semicolon. And it's an apt metaphor for recent years of my life: it's more than a comma pause, not quite a period stop; it usually appears in the middle of a sentence; no one quite knows how to use it properly; it's a sigh of contemplation; a knowing wink; an upward glance of reflection.

Ken's Progress
So, here i am blogging. I kind of, really, very officially hate blogs. Maybe because I associate it with the people I love being sick. My sister, Gus, and now Ken. Yup, hate blogs. I know it's not rational, but I do. Surgery is done. He's being moved to the neuro ICU. He's moving both sides, left is weaker. And he's saying his name. Dr. Ogilvie is "cautiously optimistic". Cautious optimism.

J and K - I know things are going to be fine. Just fine. You're in very good hands. I am SOOOOO happy and relieved. My tears of fear are now tears of joy. Wish I could be there so you could wipe them away in person. I look forward to hearing from you soon. That would be you 2nd-person plural. I love you both.

Huge waves of love and relief and unrestrained optimism from us to you and Ken. much love, Amy
ReplyDeleteIf I were able to, I'd send you all a big box of comfort right now. A huge boxful of scratchy/fuzzy sweater warmth that you feel when the snow drives hard against the window. I would send you laughter of children captured in mason jars. I would send you all that is right with the world. But as soon as I sent it to the post office, they told me I had to get a smaller box. I'm cautiously saying that the worst part is over, and I'm parsing out my love into smaller, more manageable shoe boxes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jamie for the update. All of us have been sending positive thoughts to you and Ken.
