Tonight's picture was taken in November of 2002. Mattie was 7 months old. As you can see, he was zooming around our first floor in his "tot wheels." That gizmo was a total lifesaver, as it gave Mattie the mobile independence he craved. He followed me around everywhere, an no corner or space was too difficult for him to maneuver himself into!
Quote of the day: Any way I slice reality it comes out poorly, and I feel an urge to not exist, something I have never felt before; and now here it comes with conviction, almost panic. I mentally bless and exonerate anyone who has kicked a chair out from beneath her or swallowed opium in large chunks. My mind has met their environment, here in the void. I understand perfectly. ~ Suzanne Finnamore
My head feels like it could explode and as if a sharp knife is going through my eye! This is not a migraine, but a cluster headache. Another nightmare that I get from time to time. They aren't as frequent thankfully, because these headaches are nick named, the suicide headache. That should give you some idea of the intensity of the pain. Cluster headaches can last weeks to months. I am truly hoping that it isn't months, because I assure you I am living with enough pain emotionally right now. What would help is less stress, a normal life, and more sleep, support, and kindness.
After getting my dad settled today, I had some Foundation work to do. I reviewed the Foundation's therapy grant program which started in 2022. Since its inception, we have awarded 7 grants to children, so they can seek therapeutic support within their community. To date we have awarded over $10,000 of grants!
