Cool heading, huh?
I'm practicing epic descriptions in this post - to better prepare myself for the day Kathy dances again.
I don't want to be caught offguard, without an idea of how to express the full impact of the moment.
Empires rise and fall, but knowledge of their history is dependent on the stories the bards tell.
What do you think of the Romans? The Greeks? The British? How about the Mayans?
I think these Dynasties fell because their foundation crumbled.
It's not as simple as just that, but in a weird way, it is.
Look at how they lost the focus to stay true to what made them great! (Is this still a Kathy blog?)
Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about (in truth, I wasn't there then), but in Kathy's case, I do not care what comes after the fall.
I care only that the fall does not happen at all!
Her legs are NOT her foundation.
Kathy's foundation is built on fearless compassion and adventure, on a trust that she won't get hurt (by people or life).
When Kathy's trust IS disappointed and she's hurt, it doesn't make her jaded to life (or those left in hers). THAT is the part that can't die.
Because her foundation does not crumble, her legs can be destroyed, but the strength of who she is still holds up.
She deserves to walk again.
Not for me, I don't need it for her to be My Forever, but for Kathy, I pray she dances again.
It is not an impossible request.
Sooner or later, everyone prays,.. for themselves, for someone else, for deliverance, for a cure... for a miracle.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Ted here.
Thanksgiving wasn't so strange after all!
As they so often do, plans changed.
Oh, I could've done the lazy male thing when plans at my Aunt Tracy's wouldn't work, then the get together at our house fell through, and I could've ordered Chinese. Kathy always has someone to back me up in cases like this though, as Shasta City Michelle brought over plates of turkey food and fixings!
Not to worry, I, Ted, had things under control.
That's right, I cooked a Thanksgiving dinner!
We didn't have turkey, but ham is a good substitute if you aren't going to have turkey, right? Ham, with a bit of mashed potatoes, corn, salad, cottage cheese with peaches, cranberry sauce and a fruit salad! Yum! Except Kathy only nibbles these days (maybe it was the bone marrow soup she ate just before dinner). Still, it had a Thanksgivingy feel to it, so I'm putting a star sticker by my name!
My sister and her family came late and are staying the night.
Thanks to all who called Kathy today. Hope your day went well!
