Mother's Day

This weekend's been wild. Aaron woke up drenching wet early Saturday morning. He hasn't for years, but we thought he might have had an accident. It wasn't; it was sweat. He was running a 104 degree fever. We took him to the hospital. They managed to reduce the fever, and he doesn't have "swine flu." Trust me, that's the first thing I thought of while sitting in the hospital. Instead, he has pneumonia. No baseball and outdoor fun for this little guy this weekend; which I think makes him feel worse than his illness.

That was yesterday. Today, Kate went to my in-laws church. My mother's currently in Nashville visiting my brother, so I've had an unorthodox Mother's Day so far. I will admit that I did cook chicken and noodles for lunch today for my mother-in-law, and it was edible. Aaron was looking forward to taking Kate out to eat tonight on his own and paying for her meal (which took a lot of time to collect that money), so they are going to postpone that gift until he's feeling better. Kate and I drove by the cemetery this afternoon and sat for a little while by Gracie. There were a lot of cars out there today with people who just wanted to be close to their mothers. I thank God for the gift of three amazing mothers in my life; my mother, my wife, and my mother-in-law. I've learned such incredible lessons from them. Have a wonderful Mother's Day; the few hours left of it anyways. I've been busy today, and this is the first I've been able to visit here.
