Even though Calvin wasn't feeling his best Monday morning, I was gratified to be able to spend a little time seeing how he's grown and some of the advances he has shown since I last saw him. Thank you for the little window into your world, for your flexibility putting Jasper and me up on the fly, and for the lovely hospitality. I love you guys. Andy<br />BTW: I'm sure you'll find something beautiful to cultivate where the Rhody was. Your gardens are amazing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307665728361777089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895440453335552117.post-92072166212589167552021-06-30T12:16:13.285-04:002021-06-30T12:16:13.285-04:00sending you love and strength, andie. xoxosending you love and strength, andie. xoxoChristy Shakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00106761191160700997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895440453335552117.post-21075992071008143582021-06-30T11:53:25.891-04:002021-06-30T11:53:25.891-04:00Christie I weep at this.

I think the sadness here is our kids are still the same, our mental<br />And emotional prison hasn’t changed. I hear you so much about friends kids. My girl sucks and looses her pacifier all night...almost 18.
