Heartfelt Thanks...

I thank you for your love. Please keep it coming. Can't begin to tell you how much it's needed right now.

Update:

Haven't heard from New Directions. Considering they said they'd let me know on Friday, and they didn't...I'll take that as another rejection and move on.

Charlie's mom is better, but we're still struggling. She can't be left alone, and so between Charlie's sister Jenice, Charlie, and myself, we've become full-time caregivers. I've had the opportunity to spend one afternoon and evening with Charlie since last Wednesday. The rest of the time, he's been staying nights at his mom's. It's taking a toll. We could use some downtime alone...considering we haven't even been away for a weekend together since, well I think it was Sept. 2001. It's time.

I'm doing everything I can to keep positive and hold it together, but right now, it's difficult. Sorry to be a downer lately. I'm a little spent, and like Averie, I think that Charlie is definitely wearing himself thin and it worries me.
