...the meatloaf is next on the menu

It amazes me how quickly time passes - needless to say, I will always remember that Friday when my guy, Michael called. We have crossed over one hurdle and will do the same with whatever comes our way .... Joe and I cannot possibly tell you all what it means to have the continued support, love and blessings for Michael. He is resilent (did I spell that correctly??), strong and still retains that special sarcastic wit that keeps our spirits high. I have taken my "Florence Nightingale" uniform out of storage and hope that it still fits??!! I WILL NOT give him a bell, as was suggested by someone - who remembers ?? , but we have put ourselves on call for whatever the kid needs or wants. He keeps walking by a mirror and says, "I don;t look so bad, right Mom?"
What can I say?? He always looks pretty good to all of us ...
thank you all for everything - please feel free to call him - is he ever without his blackberry/phone?
The Whyte house welcomes you as soon as we see that he is ready for visitors - please continue to keep us in your prayers and good thoughts ..
Oh, and for those of you who do not know what a 'doula' is - I take care of newborns for new moms, so I feel pretty good about taking care of my boy - and of course, without the Commander around, where would we go for a good story - always has plenty of those ...

Hi Gail,
You've and Michael have been on our minds all week. I'm so happy the surgery went so well. He seems like a really strong guy...of course he comes from strong stock. Your love for eachother is so great to see. It oozes all through the blog. We'll be in touch but we know it's not a great time to call. Our love and prayers are with you all.

Love,
Sue and Sheila
