Adoption

Today, I was reminded that November is National Adoption Month. So, today I am grateful for adoption....for obvious reasons. Without adoption I would not have my little Grady. And, I would not have my little family.

Today was a not so good day for me. Without going into complete detail....for the past 7 months I've been helping my Dad take care of his father, my Grandfather. He is 87 and blind. Typically he does very well on his own and is independent. However, things have changed in the last month and unfortunately lately he is in "decline". I will more than likely talk more about this, but for now I'll leave it at that.

I was talking to Yannette today and I said "today I'm having a hard time coming up with something other than Brad and Grady to be grateful for." (I'm sure I used a few expletives though) She reminded me of our old IFC saying...."well at least I have a working anus." At least I always have that to fall back on when I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.
