Tonight as I sit thinking of all the things I could tell you about, I realize I have NO idea where to start.  Do I begin by telling you of how horrible the Denver Children’s Hospital can be….which is hard when it can also be so great?  Do I tell you the results of Alex’s [...]

CRAP!
I feel my heart slowly sinking again.  Things like this shouldn’t be a surprise….least of all to me.
