WOW! What a month! My husband just spent 3 weeks in the hospital. He was in terrible pain and is now quite weak from the lengthy stay and illness. He will have a fairly long recovery, but is doing well so far. My daughter had not told my 3-year-old granddaughter that her PaPa was sick nor that he was in the hospital. FYI - this is the granddaughter that had a VERY special bond with Ashee (as she pronounced her name.) One day "E", granddaughter, came down from her room, told her Momma "Ashee is at the hopital (again, her pronunciation of hospital) with her Daddy." My daughter said "what?" She then repeated, "Ashee is at the hopital with her Daddy." And off she went to play... nothing more said about it.

Happy Fall Y'all
WOW! It's already fall! I remember taking "Miss Ashlie" outside and going for walks around her block. Leaves all along the sidewalks as we went. I would purposely make lots of noise kicking and crunching the leaves. Stopping frequently to pick up different colored leaves and showing you... placing some of them in your hands and crunching them... I would see that tiny, little smile that I first began seeing on your face. Oh how I treasured those first few smiles that I saw. I would go home and say "Ashlie smiled today!" Wow. You went from tiny, little smiles once about every two weeks, to BIG, BEAUTIFUL smiles frequently. Momma misses those smiles...
