A WHILE AGO, FIA PROCLAIMED, "I'M SO GLAD I HAVE A MOM!" MARK'S RESPONSE WAS PRECISELY WHAT I WAS THINKING: "'4 A WHILE, U ACTUALLY HAD A CHOICE!"

I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT COMMENT. IS SHE STILL GLAD SHE HAS A MOM, IF I CAN'T TALK, WALK, ETC. ? OBVIOUSLY, YES. IS IT JUST BECAUSE I SIT W/HER WHILE SHE PLAYS COMP.. OR PLAY THINGS LIKE T"EA PARTY" MORE, SO SHE GETS MORE "QUALITY TIME?" IS IT JUST HER NUTURING NATURE? OR DOES SHE EVEN KNOW ANY BETTER?

SOON AFTER HER COMMENT, WE HAD A BREAK-THROUGH. MARK WAS BUSY AT DINNER & ASKED ZACH 2 GIVE HIS MOM WATER 2 DRINK. I WAS SHOCKED ZACH SAID OK (& HE DID REALLYWELL—BETTER THAN SOME, BECAUSE IT IS AN "ART FORM"). BUT BOY DID BOTH GIRLS BEG 2 DO IT! I THINK THEY WERE GLAD 2 HAVE A MOM THEN.

2DAY WE DID SWIM THERAPY. HAVE I MENTIONED "STAND UP HUGS?" THINK SO, BUT IN CASE: THE KIDS LINE UP IN THE POOL 2 GET A HUG FROM MOM, WHO'S STANDING. REALLY, I STAND & DO THERAPY ON LAND 2, BUT THE POOL IS SPECIAL & THE KIDS LOVE IT. I THINK THEY ARE GLAD 2 HAVE A MOM THEN, DESPITE EVERYTHING.
