When I was a child I hated my birthday because I was always fearful I wouldnt be grateful enough for all the gifts I received. I kind of feel like that now, like I wont ever be able to show the world HOW MUCH THIS ALL MEANS TO US. Its beyond amazing, its like being in a dream where youre being chased by a murderer and then a friend opens up a little secret hatch and you slide down into a safe, warm place and you are a little less scared, even though you know that psycho is still after you. Thats the feeling you guys have given to us with all of this love. Its a really specific feeling, but I think you know what I mean. Weve hired an overnight aide to watch over Aaron. Our first one was the worst and I have a *LOT* of feedback for the hospice system in general. Going through this in my early 30s is a real eye opener, and my heart breaks for the old folks going through this on their own who dont have a crazy Irish woman ready to fight for them at a moments notice. Our new aide is a legit angel on earth. Her name is Helene and she is a motherly cloud of love. Within 2 minutes of meeting, she had somehow gotten me into a hug and made me cry, then spent the night alongside my husband, holding his hands and caring for him like she had known him her entire life. I would kind of like to hire her to be around and hug me for the rest of my life, and with your generosity, I think I might be able to afford that.
