You have been there as an advocate but as a translator too. I hadn’t thought about how Covid is changing that entire role of your’s as he moves forward in these next months of appointments.

so sorry I couldn’t make a visit happen earlier this week…
I did learn that Pittsburgh is only a little over 5 hours away, though. It used to take much longer when the speed limit was only 55mph.
Sorry it’s been and still is so hard. That’s an amazing photo of you two.
I’m also sorry I wasn’t one of the people in the hospital with you.
Anyway, can’t change the past.
Literally falling asleep at the computer, but have to go find the sweetest little pup ever and take her outside before trying to get through the night.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo,

And strangely you have found support and community, in some of the most in”hospitable” settings. Stellar. Tell us (me) more about what you are reading, if you are exercising, playing guitar? Writing poetry?
Stay whole sister,
Pete
