dribs and drabs....
There comes a time when all things culminate. Everything which has been started comes to a close and all things wrap up! Warm sunny days cool off. Cold frigid weather warms. Horrible consequences to ones actions become "over" and green grasses become brown. Dinners must end and sleep is often not long enough. Well, you get the idea. Or as they say in New Jersey, 'idee'er'.
The recent events of our lives here in Mentor have, to say the least, been extremely busy, seriously challenging, debilitatilngly agonizing at times, overwhelmingly full of anxiety and fears, and downright hard.
So as all things culminate, so will these recent times. Aaaaaaaahs will be the order of the days to come and we may even sense greater days of ease and some delight. I will graduate from Respiratory care and Stephanie will be done with all of her therapies. It is a time we both very much look forward to. So 'up the street' the soldiers are coming down. But down the street the sun is shining up. Until next time, I remain somewhat numbed by it all; dazzled by the incredible response by our friends and family; and grateful for all the kindnesses affoded us by so many.
Sorry to be away from the blogs pond for so long. With its surface freezing, I should be able to skate freely soon. Thankfully you bloggy frogs have not stopped your blogpaddy hopping and chirping. See you again soon I hope.

Welcome back, Papa! I'm glad to see you blogging again.
Your voice needs to be heard; let it ring from one corner of the Internet to the other.
Your loving son,
Nathan

And, no, we haven't stopped our hopping and chirping! The blogs are a hip-hop-happening place to be.
It's what all the cool kids are doing.

P.S. I've rebuilt your blog, so refresh it when you look at it next. It should be more coherent, better spacing, easier to read.
Posting it should be identical.

I like the new look! Very chic! :-)

In the hopes of not sounding too cliche, "perhaps the guards that chase us down that very street are but guiding us to our beloved?"

Perhaps, but the journey can still be torturous.

Thank you Nathan. It does look much easier to read and the type size is good too. " And I even like the color."
And yeah. The journey is kinda like having to cross the road in a downpour to eat. The food may be great but you still have to pay for it, and you're soaking wet all the while you eat.
