this is getting harder

our story is beginning to get difficult... so much happened so quickly... and it's all jumbled in my head...


i've spent the last two hours drafting my next post and finally gave up by saving it for later... so that the lost sleep isn't in vain, i thought i'd at least post a little something... i spent this evening with chuck and eric stuffing ourselves on japanese hibachi grill cuisine... i'm glad i had that time with the two of them... unfortunately i haven't had the opportunity to see eric lately... the recent plans we've had have fallen through... but tonight made up for all of that... after a long chat covering everything from music festivals to mail order brides to recumbent bikes to the explanation of 420, we finally pushed our bloated selves away from our 'table' and drove back to his house... once we got past the initial awkwardness of his brother's ex showing up while the other ex was there he decided to put on a show... what seems like forever ago, but was probably a month ago, chuck suggested mounting something to the wall to assist e in his efforts to stand on his own... and now someone had... and we got to see him use his legs to push himself out of his chair into a standing position!  with both legs locked!  but more than that... the boy did a few 'squats'... using his legs to lower himself slightly and then straighten back up... only using his upper body for balance... what an amazing sight... that was the first time i really 100% believed we would actually be going to hawaii... i think i was at 95% before... but now... wow... what an amazing progress point he's made it to... there's still a long road ahead... but at least it seems to have a definite destination on the horizon...


i love you e... thanks for making my night
i love you chuck...
