Juel's Journal

Papaw

He made me cry today. Just made me sit and weep like a small child. I guess it scared Mom, she came in wondering why on earth he and I were crying like that and I couldn't answer her for crying, he couldn't for crying, then finally I just threw up my hands and said, "Mom I'm not even sad! He just started talking about Mamaw, he started crying and it made me cry! I can't help it, make him stop! I'm not even sad!" Sheesh! I had Meli's journal on my mind and I just couldn't help it.

Then the man started laughing because I was standing there like a dribbling idiot crying because he was. Then he blessed my heart. I guess we all need a good cry sometimes.

He's been eating really well, and today he sat up on the side of the bed. It was the first time since he'd been there that he sat up like that, and he wasn't in pain, he was just scared he was going to fall.

Mikyla went with Sarah for a while this evening, but Mallory and Maegan stayed with me. Mal read to him and then later we went and got ice cream from Dairy Queen and took him one back. He really enjoyed that. :)
