Moms Cardiologist wants my mom to go to the Mayo CLinic in Minnesota so that they can diag. where and why she's bleeding. I trust her Cardiologist. Mom was his Kindergarden teacher and he was her favorite student. Atleast 40 years later she was refered to him for heart problems. She didn't realize he had been her student until she met him, again, face to face. They have a history.......and either he goes that extra mile for mom because of their history, or he's just a great doctor. Or both. Either way, I trust his judgement.

Mom is undecided about what she's going to do.....so I just wait and go with the up and downs best as I can.

I ran into an old friend yesterday. I felt better in the five minutes I spent talking to my friend then I've felt in a really long time. WHy is it that old friends have a way of making me feel grounded and optimistic?

The other night my son picked daughter up from her pep rally. He also drove daughters boyfriend home. WHen son stopped at daughters boyfriends house, daughters boyfriend leaned towards daughter to hug her good-bye. It's what they do when they say good-bye. They hug. I've seen it a dozen times. So daughter gets home, comes through the door, slams the door, yells something about hating her brother, then stomps up the steps towards her bedroom. Son in the meantime doesn't come in the house as he was headed to his dads to get stuff reading for hunting. But he calls me right around the time daughter is cursing him under her breath. He says to me "Before Emily says ANYTHING to you I want you to know that her boyfriend made the move and I told him if he EVER does it again I will strangle him! Then I told him, I'm SERIOUS! I WILL strangle you!" I couldn't help but laugh. I feel a little bad for sis but still, deep down I'm glad that he did what he did!
