Day 11---Lee's cousins

I wrote for the other days but, I wrote them at work last night and that computer would not let me post.  So I have to copy and paste.  Moving on....

So today we had a bar b q with Lee's cousin.  It was their daughters birthday.  One of his siblings.  It is always nice to Lee's cousins.  We don't see them as much as we would like.  But is usually a good time when we do.  Lee has several cousins who live in a walking distance and and several more who live with in just a few miles.  I have a play date planned for one of his cousin's wife and their two kids on Tuesday.  They are the type of people I could call if I really needed something and I know they would help if they could. But it is more then that.  It is about relationships that go back to when Lee was born.  About relationship that will last forever.  It is about my kids being able to see extended family. 

It is late and I didn't word all of this as clearly as I wanted.

Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding.
