Gang,
As you can tell, I'm attempting to catch up on some postings I've been
attempting to send (I've deleted many "half baked" letters, but after the
Send or Not-to-Send discussions, I've decided to not worry so much about
it).
There's something I've been wanting to say for a while now - MOTHERS (and
WIFES) ARE AWSOME !!!!!!
Lisa has been living away from home now for 3 months (1 mo. pregnant and
either in the hospital or apartment, and 2 mo. at R.McD house). She goes
to the hospital every day and spends the whole day. She deals with all
the little ups-and-downs that I don't see on my weekend visits. She
attaches herself to the breast pump 5-6 times/day. Sure, she has her
little break-downs (usually on Friday night when I get there - she says
she can't afford to break down the rest of the week - the girls need her).
All this and she has the nerve to feel sorry for me - I have to cook for
myself and drive 4 hours each way every weekend - well boo-hoo-hoo!
During the hospital stay, while she layed upside down in bed, she kept
insisting that my job was harder than hers (granted, I was forced to eat
hospital food, but at least I could eat!!).
Then I read all these other stories about the things some of you have
gone through. Thank God that women have the babies, or humans would be
extinct by now.
God love you ALL,
John
