I woke up this morning a little later than usual. Today was "catch up" day. I have one of these evey other week. Risking ridicule by American standers for slacking, i'm not embarrased to say I woke around 12:30pm. Knowing I won't get much sleep in the next few days is excuse enough.
It occurred to me this morning (or afternoon) that my mother, Dana, will be taking care of three of Stella's siblings back home in Rockford, MI by herself this weekend. Also, she'll be caring for them every evening/night while Jason goes to work (third shift). What a heroic effort on Dana's part. Especially since I know just from speaking with her this morning that she is terrified for Stella. And she will be 200 miles away from Stella during her journey. Her Grandmother's Heart is full of fear.
It would be of great comfort to me if you (dear readers) would reach out to Dana. Help in the form of prepared meals, kid's snacks, groceries, cleaning, kid's activities, homework etc this weekend and next week. If you can do that please email me and I will coordinate your appreciated efforts as well.
If your are unable to do but just want to send your thoughts, please consider a Card of support and well wishes to Stella. You can send these to my home address so that I may read them to her at her bedside:

Thank you...M
