"Bitter are the tears of a child: Sweeten them.
Deep are the thoughts of a child: Quiet them.
Sharp is the grief of a child: Take it from him.
Soft is the heart of a child: Do not harden it."
~ Pamela Glenconner ~

"How far you go in life depends
on your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the striving and
tolerant of the weak and strong.
Because someday in life you will have been all of these."
~ George Washington Carver ~

Happy Birthday, Crystal!

Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear Cryyyyyyyystal!
Happy birthday to you!

Today Crystal is 30 minus 3! And we have loved her since she was 20 minus 2! I'm so grateful that Crystal has been in our lives for NINE years! (And ninety-nine more wouldn't be enough!)

Happy birthday!

Bleed! Bleed! Bleed!

Today was THE day for the bloodwork that the good ol' rheumatologist requires every 8 weeks. Painless (pretty much) as usual. (Thank you, Quentin!)

That's it. Just bloodwork.

The end.
