You began your day eating soup  veg. beef w/crackers - drank a little sprite as we have got to get food in you to get your strength back - this really has stepped you backwards - but this is ok as with life you must take two steps back to accomplish one step forward - you ate dry black eyed peas and a couple  bites of cubed steak for lunch - this is ok you are trying - you were smiling when you saw David & Leighann - not willing to  participate in conversation just very tired - you have only had to have one pain pill - which I think is great - you never really slept this afternoon, just rested - rested to much - as no one had more than 2 hrs sleep Sunday night - I found you on your knees trying to get in your chair about 11:30pm - then dad was up and down with you until 4:00am - then I was up - this makes a very tiring night and we must get back in a routine so that you can give your all to therapy. . each and every day that gives you the  encouragement of seeing the Tift Co. Line  - I know these next few weeks are going to be exhausting - but that is the road back home - we all feel and do better in our own environment - as we all know - my prayer now is strength, courage and determination for all - we are all tired and there is a rainbow of the other side of the thunder cloud - be strong Lee - as we go this path all together, we must give and take to reach our goad of 5 little steps that unlocks the door on College Ave - it breaks my heart to see the look in your eyes when people say they are coming and never show up - you ask is it me??  - you do not understand time other than today is today - as this is what we all should appreciate is just today - as today is all that God gives us - so  try Lee, try - as you have a story to tell and this is just the beginning.. love mom
