Beautiful Boy

To my most beautiful godson, Seamus. I think of you every day, many times a day, wishing you full and speedy recovery. I know this has already been a journey of deepest love for you and your parents. Please hug each one of them for me.

Three Heads

...are better than one.

My dear 10-year old godson Seamus is recuperating from a recent operation to remove a brain tumor, and the whole story is much more than I want to share out here. I do want to share a picture his dad sent, from the hospital lawn, and I know that my brother-from-another-mother James will be okay with my sharing it.

He sent this picture out to his legions of supportive friends. If this doesn't brighten your day or night, check your pulse. And whatever your religious leanings are, if you want to offer a prayer or a meditation for healing and recovery, now's the time.

Really.

Seamus, Jimmy, and Riad, I love you.
