Shawn thanks for checking on me.

Shawn my birthday dinner next year.

Ange lunch text.

I wondered about our tentatively planned lunch today when I took my dawn walk. Had a text from Ange at 6:30 this morning, confirming. :-) 

Shawn's girlfriend, Destiny, came over for dinner last night. We had the leftover casserole from the night before, along with squash, and spinach, and rice&beans. Shawn did the dishes after we took her home, and when he was at the sink he turned around and said, "Well, I know what I want for my birthday dinner next year. That casserole was awesome." 

He looked really tired this morning when he came to hug me bye for school, and he said he hadn't slept well. He said that he was fine though, and then, "Thanks for checking on me." 

We have some doable options on the Blue Cross, so I'm happy about that. 

I'm excited about plans for the summer and having fun, and having less pressure to make everything go the way that it needs to. I also kinda think next year will be even easier ... that it will just naturally build on the foundation we already have. 

Barry and I are planning a day trip in the VW Bus to go see the covered bridge in Lilian, and I'm really happy about that.

It still loves with all the power of the world.

I told Barry that Dr. Webster's nurse had called to let me know that I have an aortic regurgitation. That it isn't bad. That valves weaken with age. 

I said, "My heart's getting old." 

He said, "It still loves with all the power of the world."

I feel like my heart has been held hostage and I can finally breathe again. Shawn's grades, with almost everything posted, are an A and the rest C's. He still has his final exams to take, but he will pass everything.

Happier than he's ever been.

Shawn went over to Beverly's for a little while. She called to let me know when he was headed home. He told her that he's happier than he's ever been, and pointing to the picture of his girlfriend on his phone, "and its not because of her. It started before her."

It feels funny not to have my backpack.

(They told the kids not to bring their backpacks anymore. That they won't need anything except a pencil.) Tyler
