1.  Christmas Eve dinner.  My favorite dinner of the year.

All I have to say is that at this point, planning a family, knowing I have EDS and POTS, is a very personal, sacred, and difficult decision…

I am so ready to have quality play time with these people this week…

Happy 60th Dad!  I love you!

I have talked with quite a few family members about the power and emotion that is evoked from this piece.  I have gone back and re-read it over and over again.  Some of you have already read it, but I know that some of you have not.  My sister’s boyfriend, Gabe, had posted this essay as a comment on a post I did about “What are awesome things in your world?”  After reading his comment for like the 37484 time tonight, I finally decided that it belonged in it’s own post.  It is something that I want to document so that I can go back and read it whenever I need a dose of what honor is all about.
