FIA IS A GREAT CHEERLEADER. HER JOB 4 THERAPY IS 2 HOLD A RECORDER (SHE HAS ONLY DONE IT 3X), & I TRY 2 BLOW. IF I MAKE NOISE, SHE CHEERS! SHE LOVES 2 FEED ME & SIT ON MY LAP, WHETHER RIDING/MOVING OR NOT. HER LATEST THING IS 2 OPEN MY CAR DOOR & ACTUALLY TRY 2 LIFT ME OUT OF R CAR! WHEN I STROKED, SHE WAS BARELY 2 YRS. OLD. I OFTEN WONDER ABOUT R BOND, & IF SHE REMEMBERS HER MOM BEFORE HER STROKE. IN MY EDUCATION, I LEARNED HOW VITAL THE 1^ST 5 YRS. OF LIFE R. I WORKED HARD 4 MY OLDER 2, SO IS THAT WHERE FIA HAS DEVELOPED A LOVE 4 READING (FROM HER SIBLINGS)? BUT JESS IS NOT A READER’OH! SHE ‘READS’ 2 ME 2!

NOW MIKE’S TEMPLE ENDOWMENTS R TUES., & MARK HAS LENGTHENED R HOTEL STAY & WE DRIVE DOWN TUES. (TODAY). I WILL BE THERE, THOUGH IT IS HARD.

I’M MIKE’S GIRLFRIEND, LEORA, WILL WATCH MY KIDS’ AT CHUCK-E-CHEESE.
