I’m so glad your Dad has James, Pix!!!! What a blessing.

My Dad is in in-patient rehab and is doing better physically but he’s confused and wants to come home/doesn’t want my mom to leave. It’s hard on both of them but I’m glad she’s getting a break from being his main caregiver.

Lisah! Happy birthday! I hope you are being spoiled today. May the year to come be a most excellent one. I hope the rehab stay helps both of your parents.

Pix, I've been thinking about you and your dad; I'm so glad James is there for you all.

That sounds like such a boon, Kristin. Glad your dad has James to watch over him.

Been reading everyone’s lovely words and so happy to be a newbie in this community. (Yes, nearly 20 years later I still feel like a newbie.)

I’m more inclined to text or call directly to many of you to whom I would otherwise comment here (I’m looking at you, Pix!), so I’m usually pretty quiet.

But I wanted to say “Welcome to the world, Arthur!” Hope by now you’re at home and “relaxing” like a normal infant does! Congrats on the growing family, Debet.

I’m sorry about your aunt, Askye.

Didn’t mean to double post!

So I’ll add that I love “morally elegant” as it’s very fitting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I know saying that someone is a "true" Christian is kind of a cliche, but JZ is. Kind and caring, passionate about injustice, and the absolute best heart.

What a boon, indeed. And a mutually beneficial one all around. Wonderful!

I know saying that someone is a "true" Christian is kind of a cliche, but JZ is.
I am not of that tribe, but I did work in a Christian church for about 10 years and it is always such a delight to find those who live the principles they cleave to. JZ is a stellar example.

Because books.

Happy birthday, lisah!

Much love to James, who seems like stellar person. And much love to you, Pix, too. That's a rough situation to balance.
