Yesterday in the course of a really busy day and feeling stressed as I was driving through the depths of Boston, John said to me in this really quiet voice, "Mama, I would do anything for Hunter." 
Tonight my husband looked, quite honestly, terrible.  He looks like a shell of his former self.  He looks thing. 
I said to him, "You are my one true love."  He whispered to me, "You are my one true love."
Those are the things that are keeping me going.   If I didn't have that absolute assurance that the four of us love each other I think I would completely go out of my mind.  I feel like I walk around my house and everything is crumbling.  My life is blown to bits and will NEVER be the same again.  And I find that when Sean is home and there isn't much to do for him or much I can do for him, that is when I feel the worst.  That's when that reality sets in for me.  When he's in the hospital I am busy arranging childcare, preparing for my next visit, and worrying about him.  But, then he comes home and I'm not so busy anymore.   Tonight is one of those times.  I feel like I can't really take a deep breath.  Like I can't sit still.
