Just some thoughts, an open letter
I don't know what it is about a blank page, but my mind goes blank when I look at it. I think part of the problem is I worry about what I put in this blog and who will read what I write. I get so much joy from reading you kids' blogs. It helps me feel like I'm not so far away from you. Things here seem like same ol', same ol', and Dad still has his good days and bad days. He can still say something sweet and give me the most tender kiss and I melt all over again. I truly adore your Dad in spite of everything that has happened. He means to be a good man, even if he is completely selfish and self centered sometimes. Try to see past his shortcomings and understand that he really does love each of you very much (including your spouses). If he could he would shower you with gifts, he's just a little short in the praise department. Try to imagine working and playing hard all your life and then suddenly being practically confined to a bed with nothing to do all day. Anyway, just a couple of thoughts. I love you all. -- Mom

we love you to. AS I remind John at times, depression is an illness like cancer. i think we can all understand that and look past some of the more difficult times, and see beyond that to who he really is.... Thanks for your words.
Thank you for this post.
It makes me sad that Dad is so sad and in such pain.
I understand how depression can make you feel physically as well as emotionally lousy...
I just wish there was something that can be done.
Did you get the recipes that I sent to you on your e-mail?
