Today I woke up with an absence of pain in the area they call heart. As I write this Joh gives me another smile, but wider. I’m fumbly with wonder. It’s been a long year of post seizure med reactions erggghhh! There were days we couldn’t even pray or smile. This morning, gratitude gushes. I’ve not enough words. A smile is the heartprint of wellbeing, thankyou for this Prompt Trent. You put it so well; here I’m incoherent, gawking at peace. God bless y’all. Sometimes you lose it deep, bad. And sometimes you just plain hold on to what Held you all this time. Words fall back dumb founded when a storm ceases and you breathe again, for the smile of a loved one healing. Joh is 18, his gentleness returns slowly. As I write this he’s holding my hand, what can I say – life is worth all the bad moments for the Joy it delivers. 😅
Hey, did something make you smile today?

P.S.
My last Post: Saturday’s child was with an old photograph taken in my years when Joh was at Blind School. He’s since moved and is now homeschooled (hates that word and we’ve had to stop all forms of academy since the past year and half). So we just be. He loves going out, shopping, oh even doodling when he can be still. Big foodie. Loves people, remembers every single ones birthdays; shopkeepers, oh anyone. We’ve wondered what kind of job our 18 yr old would really like, and I think it’s this: he’d love a world desk with everyone’s birthdays registered, just to call and wish them! I’m serious. Maybe it must happen.

Having someone remember you on your birthday is important, so perhaps there should be a job like that….

😃oh yes! Joh is a walking diary of friends/ relatives/ neighbours birthdays. He makes sure we call them up and wish. If it were a job, oh yes…. he’d need staff and floors. This guy doesnt to write dates down, it’s all in his head. He remembers the floor colour of the house he first knew…. all with faint colour perception.

Sounds like the light is starting to shine for him and you! Having a reminder of birthdays is important. I went through phases: first as a child and teen my birthday was a momentous event with parties and gifts. Then as a young parent I focused on others and my birthday would come and go without fanfare. Now I’m beginning to really celebrate my birthday once again. I need someone like Joh to remind me of all the birthdays! FB just isn’t cutting it!
