Last night, I had a dream that Avery and Marley and I went swimming at Turkey Creek, and the water was extremely high. Avery had jumped in the water, which made me panic, because he cannot swim so well yet, but there he was paddling away, as I know he can, and also, miraculously, breathing too. What a relief. I then turned to Marley who took her turn jumping into the dangerously high water. Lo and behold, she also could swim. Much better than I thought she could. Continue reading “The floodgates open”

Does anyone know how to record messages left on a cell phone? I’ve got at least one message from Mike ( a really pedestrian one, but his voice nonetheless) that I’d like to save and maybe burn to a disc. Any advice is appreciated.
Grief comes out in unexpected ways
This morning Marley was cutting out and painting crowns for Avery and his friend Forrest. She used some sparkly paper that Mike had given her, which he had acquired on some production job or another.
