3 out of 4

Sunday - December 16, 2012

It has been a grey wet day with much reflection and thought about Newtown and the quiet life in small town Connecticut, the cheery rhythms of first grade classrooms everywhere, and the terrible challenges faced by families dealing with profound mental health issues.

Focused reading time, a Washington football win, and page-protecting progress were all distractions.  But Megan's arrival for her 3 month visit is instantly transformative.  It has now become a totally excellent day  :)  Jonathan will be home in the next few days and then our group, our unit, our family will be complete.
