Last night, we brought dinner over to Allen and Evan's place. Evan is very sentimental right now. He cries easily. He gushes often. He thinks it's a combination of the pain killers and the emotional recovery after life saving surgery. 

Evan showed us his scar. It's massive. It starts where his ribcage meets his spin, goes along the ribcage to the sternum and then down from the sternum to his navel. 

There but for the grace of God go I.

I am baby sitting baby Huff tonight. I am reminded how much patience parents must have and how little I know about children. Baby was crying at the top of her lungs for many minutes. I tried many things to get her to calm down. Nothing worked. Then I ignored her for 30 seconds. Baby conked out and has been sleeping peacefully since.
