  2. I’m posting these on Day 7 because I wrote them on my iPad on Day 7, and then I had major tech problems getting them from iPad onto laptop so I could more easily post them to blog and here. So you’ll be reading Catching Up, II and III, on Tuesday, but time references are all from Monday. What a day, what a weekend.

    (and probably no one will even see them, since it’s now really Day 8. Sigh…)

    1. My heart just melted a little bit. My brothers are my dearest and truest friends and I, too, at one point in time wanted to return them to the hospital.

      I’m unable to post to your blog, so I hope you don’t mind my posting here.
