no intentional hurtful lies, just simple age-wise
aliteration and prose, of a man who's in the throes
of living day to day from his head down to his toes

So Dreams The dreamer an SP2 challenge met
So dreams the dreamer of love and light, of a hazy world bereft of night, of soothing music, reciprocate peace, a world away, a tension release. real life cataclysmic events, no hopeful fantasy prevents.... morePrevious blog entries: | ||

papaed wrote on Apr 23, '08 Thank you! I admit to being about overwhelmed. My daughter was worrying about Faith because she sleeps all the time. Then she noticed occasional muscle spasms. I've not seen them, anyway, after a family evening last Friday, where 20 people held Faith and made over her and she never woke up once and my daughter couldn't even wake her to feed... she freaked. Took Faith to hospital, where they decided she does have a problem. They amublanced her to Children's Mercy Hospital, where they are still doing tests. That little 8 pound ball of cute flesh has IV in the back of her tiny hand, foot tube, and chest monitors. A big bandage where they did a spinal tap. Picking her up in one hand with all those wires and tubes breaks my heart. They've sent some samples to the mayo clinic for some reason, but seem not to want to alarm. I'm still holding to the belief that my daughter, who just sits holding the baby and crying, having not left the room for what will be 6 days tomorrow, is being paranoid and this is an expression of her post partem blues. But we can't be too cautious. My wife and I have the other three little ones, who cry every night as they go to bed missing their mom. I'm working my butt off and worrying about supporting everyone at the level they are accustomed to, while gas, utilities, and food prices escalate higher and higher. My writing muse? I still carry paper and scrawl notes and have my muse slap me around almost everyday... but time, life pressure, and reality are still making it hard to finish pieces to post. papaed |

papaed wrote on Apr 16, '08 Faith came home Saturday afternoon. She is wonderful. She cries very little, loves Mother's milk, and is getting spoiled quickly with four adults in the house. Mother is recovering from the surgery slowly and steadily. papaed |
papaed wrote on Apr 10, '08 To anyone interested... My daughter Stephanie delivered her fourth baby... my grandchild... Faith Elizabeth at 9:07 Wed. morning by C-section. She is 8 pounds, and 20 inches and healthy. Curly black hair, strong grip, smiled within first few hours, nursed on the first day and captured everyone's heart. We are blessed. She will come home on Sat. or Sunday if all goes well. I rebuilt and refinished the cradle that I built for her other children that has been in storage for a while. It is my design and is made from wood salvaged from both of her great grandfather's shops... ash, walnut, and red cedar. papaed |

papaed wrote on Mar 24, '08 Thank you dear. I've had to grow younger in the last few months. My daughter is about to have her baby and she will lose her income. I've been comfortable but not wealthy for years. Now I need twice the income. I've had to be brutal with my hiring and firing. I've had to risk taking on more jobs. I have a new yellow page ad blowing out my cell phone and my calendar. I've hired back a few people I let go before, to put up with their eccentricities, because I know they can make me money. It's not an easy way to spend my 60's and I regret some not having as much time to write or read. I love you guys, You are my fantasy away from a difficult reality. Don't give up on me. papaed |
mzlaydeegirl wrote on Mar 24, '08 Hello Papa Ed... Hope you had a great day! |
papaed wrote on Feb 17, '08 Sharon... Tammy... I could find no better friends... filled with talent and love and intelligence and each of you with an individual beauty that is difficult to match. I'd be honored to be thought of as either or both of your valentines. We've got some club going here... huh? A kind of mutual admiration society. It's great! |

papaed wrote on Feb 7, '08 Well, nobody comes here much anymore. It's my own fault. I tell myself it's because I've got so little time each day to spend on the computer, that I spend it typing new stuff or doing proposals or entries for my business instead of reading and reviewing. I love you all. I love these wonderful graphics and expressions of love and appreciation. I love to write and if I were to voice a dream, it would be to develop a little closer relationship with some of you. Thanks so much for your entries in the little blog string. papaed |
