Tonight's picture was taken in February of 2009. By this point in time, getting Mattie out of his hospital room was challenging. As the cancer treatment wrecked havoc on Mattie's mood and personality. Yet when I was able to get him to the child life playroom, there were moments of happiness. Moments when we blocked out what was happening to us and instead laughed and created together. In front of Mattie sat one of his amazing boxed creations.
Quote of the day: We know what we are, but know not what we may be. ~ William Shakespeare
It is 10pm California time and I would say we had another full day. Running back and back between the hotel and the house. Overseeing the progression with the contractors, airing out the house, chores, and trying to develop some sort of routine. But nothing about living out of a hotel room is normal. It may sound fun, but it actually is challenging and stressful because when people are in your home, you do need to monitor the process. Especially when the issue at hand involves potential mold remediation. Needless to say, we learned today that the issues are significant enough, that my parents will have to be out of their home for at least a month. That too may be an underestimation. In any case, I am tired and signing off for tonight.
