I admit that I spoke to my Dad twice today and although he is still on IV antibiotics, he has eaten and rested comfortably today. I admit that I am so thankful for that. I admit that I told him that my friends from near and far were sending their love and best, and he said he thanks everyone for their kindness and continued prayers. I admit that his doctors are going to keep him for a few more days at least to make sure he is fully recovered before letting him go home. I admit that the Things and I will be seeing him this weekend. I admit that I adore you all more than I can say. I admit that I think each of us on these boards have more strength than we even know, and we only begin to tap into it when we are at the end of ourselves. I admit that yesterday afternoon, Thing 2 said, "Are we going to go see Grandaddy? I need to see him, I'm telling you, we need to go there." I admit that I told her, "Honey, we're going home. We'll see him this weekend." I admit that one hour later, my father was calling me, saying he was having trouble breathing and that he was scared and to please get him to the ER. I admit that Thing 2 looked at me and said, "I told you, Mom. Sometimes I know things and you just have to trust me." I admit that I will trust her intuition in the future because sometimes, over the past 30 years, I have known things, too. I admit that she said, "We need to take care of him. Daddy isn't here and Grandaddy is the only man in my life right now." I admit that made a lump form in my throat. I admit that Thing 1 tried to help replace the smoke alarm battery today. I admit that he accidentally pulled the thing right out of the ceiling. I admit that Thing 1 spilled water in the kitchen this afternoon and slipped, falling into the pantry door. I admit that there is a Thing 1 size hole in my pantry door now... all the way through to the other side. I admit that he is strong as an ox and about as big as one, too. The door had no chance, yet he doesn't have a scratch on him. I admit that he has broken the connecting chains on 6 pairs of professional grade nunchucks because he is so strong. I admit that my thoughts and prayers are with Inky, BK, and all the others who are going through difficult times. *hugs to everyone* *edited for typos*
