Dinner and a GoKart Ride

Well, Hans is still certainly in pain. It is still a 4 - 6. But we think the GMSCF shots may just be helping him feel a little bit better! He said he was up for an early Mother's Day Dinner last night. We went to Los Aguacotes where we ate well and Hans left the tip out of his own wallet! Then, we decided, what the heck, let's go to the Go Kart Track. Pretty excellent Mother's Day Eve if you ask me.

 So, it's Mother's Day! Happy Mother's Day to all the mama's out there. Especially to our moms and grandmas! Stephanie, Kathy, Jean, Diana and Shirley too! xoxo My heart is also with all the angel mamas out there. I read online today that Mother's Day was originally developed to honor mothers of fallen soldiers and to repair families destroyed by the civil war.

 It is not even hard for me to have Hans admitted today on Mother's Day. Although it is sad that we are leaving Kevin and Elle here to trek down to LA. I am just excited that we are helping him. And, I get to spend Mother's Day with my mom for the first time in about a dozen years since we moved out of state.

 I know a lot of people cannot fathom our sustained fight against NB. But, you know what, primal instinct just takes over. There's no "choice", no other desire. Sure, your heart and soul lament the "normal" everyday life experiences of your peers. Your heart laments and covets a healthy boy. But, there is a tidal wave of protective instinct and you do everything you think you can do for your boy, for your kid. It's a powerful force. You just look at your boy, his gigantic eyes, you see the fight is there, you see the hope and faith. You hear him talking about his future plans.  Lately his has been talking about the apartment he will get in the foothills one day!  You just do what you gotta do.
