fyi: i wear your ring every day and think of you
A good dose of perspective is always helpful.
My dad, a man of carefully chosen words, sent out the following e-mail this week:
We need your prayers for Beth. She seems to have a ruptured appendix. They plan to operate this morning. But an operation of this sort can sometimes trigger labour – which would not be good at this time! So pray that all will go well.
I am not one for unnecessary worry or drama but suddenly I was faced with the thought of my sister, 25 weeks pregnant and full of infection, undergoing an emergency surgery which put her precious unborn boy at risk.
Hannah, love your family with your whole heart but make sure you tell them and -- above all -- show them.
That's why, with this healthy dose of perspective, I am hanging on every word that Jesse tells me about politics tonight (and you know he's got a lot to say). Because he's here and he's healthy and he's able to tell me what an idiot Sarah Palin is.
I am delighted to listen.

Thanks Tracey.! Beth is recovering from surgery, still feeling really unwell and fighting infection but doing okay. She did start contracting during the operation but they were able to stop it.
No, Jesse's not telling me anything I didn't know about Palin but I am learning lots about other interesting topics...like the minority whip for example :)
Sending good thoughts to you and your family.
And if Jesse is talking about what an idiot Sarah Palin is, I want to listen too :)
