Reed has learned to sing Weezer's Buddy Holly. Yesterday we had to drive around for 30 minutes after we got home so we could both sing along 6 or so times. Hunter provided strenuous head-banging and air-drums.

May You Cry Only Seldomly
Then it struck me that at times in their lives, my children are going to have to struggle with emotional pain. I am not talking about "I don't wanna go to bed now" crying but the kind of crying you do when you feel that you will never get better...that some part of you has died and some part of you doesn't want to go on living.
This hit me hard and I found myself almost in tears thinking of my boys REALLY hurting one day...and crying that cry that you feel might consume you the rest of your days.
I know that you will hurt one day and while I am still able to I will do all that I can to help you. But, here's to hoping that you will cry only seldomly and the happiness you have now will last the rest of your days.
