About last week's image: The picture of our wounded son, Zach, resting with his rather large green cast, prompted a lot of very thoughtful responses. I usually pull a few out as honorable mentions, but I won't do that this time out: they're all honorable.
I've been sharing your thoughts with him by plopping down next to him with my laptop. He so very much appreciates the kindness of folks from around the world who have never met him, yet who feel a connection through my writing. Please know that every comment you leave makes a very big difference to a young man who's going through a rough patch. I wish I could thank you all in person for being so generous with your words of encouragement.
And since there has to be one winner, it goes to the one person who's upended her life to make sure Zach's recovery is as free from hiccups as possible: his mom. My wife, Morah Mommy, penned this: "Sleepy green-legged alien invades levyland!"
I know I risk being accused of nepotism, but she's been incredible since the moment this happened. It's no wonder our kids love her so much.
If you haven't read her blog, I hope you'll pay her a visit (click here) when you have a moment. She's a pretty lovely person.
This week on Mutual of Omaha's South Beach Kingdom.
ReplyDeleteMarlin Perkins carefully sneaks up on the rare and dreaded driftwood crocodile, who has craftily submerged himself in hopes of obtaining a low-carb meal.
Creature from the black lagoon emerges from the deep, dark sea!
ReplyDeleteI know I am being silly and it's only driftwood, but if you look at it, it does look like a mysterious creature!
Happy Sunday!

ReplyDeleteand......
woohoo!! No one is more deserving than your wonderful wife, although I bet looking after Zach has been more of a family challenge!
But I agree, your wife is indeed lovely.

P.S. Michele sent me, and I vote for Shane's (reflekshins) submission...if it matters?
ReplyDeleteThis picture makes me think of something the Rabbi said yesterday during the Yisker service. (Yes, I actually went!)

I certainly understand Carmi...Life is happening all over the place, including here on the hill..I hope your dear son is managing as best he can...NOT easy, I know....(I've broken my foot three different times over many many years---Crutches and Casts, etc...so I have a small idea of what he is going through..It is wonderful that he has such a loving and understanding family to ease this terrible burden a little bit.
ReplyDeleteNo isea of a caotion for that picture....Sorry.
Ok I have absolutely NO idea what to caption this - LOL!
ReplyDeleteCarmi I wanted to thank you for your help on writing my speech / toast for my sisters' wedding. Your words were encouraging and very helpful.
I agree with Morahmommy - it looks like a creature to me too.
ReplyDeleteBTW - my daughter broke her arm Thursday, and I thought of your little one. Seems there is a lot of this going around - I've read of two other bloggers having to visit the er over children's broken bones.
Hope you're having a lovely weekend. :)
(Still not creative enough for a caption!)
Oh dear me - I've sort of been avoiding this post cause I have no idea what to caption it...
ReplyDeleteBut, Michele sent me back tonight!
