Amy's 'momentary trouble'

After a full week and a half of the kids being back in school, Amy told me today that she really missed Hope. Now, that doesn’t mean she didn’t miss the other kids, but Hope is the youngest…the last to start school…her baby. I was concerned this might happen, that after the kids went back to school, Amy would be alone and start to miss the kids and once those feelings set in, start to feel lonely. That’s why I asked friends who are available and are willing, to come sit with Amy for a few hours each day and it’s been great for Amy (and I hope it’s been great for those who have come). Sometimes Amy just naps and other times she’ll watch a show or just visit with the person, but I know her absolute favorite is to sit and listen to the various stories of people’s lives. The little, seemingly non-important personal histories, literally make Amy sit back and smile.
Thank you ladies. Thank you for your sacrifice…thank you for the help you provide and the meals you prepare…but most of all, thank you for loving my wife and sharing snapshots of your lives with her

A friend is someone who helps you up when you're down and if they can't, they lie down beside you and listen.
