today
Hello.Things have been busy here with staff training, so I may not be releasing my detailed story for awhile.
I don't have any deep words of reflection about the fact that today is the one month anniversary of our 15 week old 2nd child's death, because I haven't been doing any deep reflecting/writing. We are doing camp right now. I can say that I am thankful for increased energy and when I compare the levels from post hospital to now, it is incredible.
I got to help lead a session on cleaning this evening. It was fun. I had the idea to draw different pictures of the different aspects of the bathrooms that need to be cleaned (sinks, counters, mirros, toliets, walls, heaters...) and Sarah helped me color them. I then had volunteers come up and stand in a line holding their sign and flip it when I was talking about their area. I love teaching and telling people things in interesting ways so this was fun. Then Andy filled in the blanks with where to find all the supplies. We are having breakfast and dinners at camp and that is a good time to talk to people.I made a rhubarb crisp with our own skinny rhubarb a few days ago which was also a lovely highlight, some of the first fruits of our area. Saskatoons are on the bushes and are green.Tired, should call it a night, so I will.

Your skinny rhubarb is the only kind of rhubarb I saw growing up in Minneapolis. Our BC rhubarb was so large I sent my mom a picture of you and Aimee holding stalks with leafs for umbrellas!
I love you. I can so imagine your teaching time - very creative. I'm thankful for any increase in energy and for your chance to visit with folks.
