Rant on superstar! Ed is feeling the pitts and Psycho applies the stress! Little does she know that each time she attacks, the steel in Marie is strengthened! Go Marie.
Our own special psycho arrives in town on sunday, so I'm doing "brain preparedness" each day! Gary's mom is at the end of her long journey and sister arrives to tell us all we're doing and have done wrong!
Somehow, it will work out fine. Just know it will.
Marie, you and Ed are my daily reminder of the power of love in the midst of battle. Day by day your love and character is tested and day by day you are a champion!
Much love to ya, girl. Your journey blesses me with the choices you make and the love you give. ma
