...dumbfounding. I'll start with brilliant.
Today, Emily and Lily came over for one last hang out before they move away to Missouri. Simon and Lily took turns being upset, so we didn't get much talking done, but at least there was togetherness. What is brilliant is this: Lily and Emily were sitting on the floor, so we joined them. Lily was sitting up on her own and when Simon, who had previously only sat up with support, saw her doing it, he just did it! He sat for several minutes without falling over - he even corrected himself. He's such as awesome kiddo!
On to dumbfounding...
One of the guys I grew up with (preschool to kindergarten to elementary school to high school graduation) is in the news today. He apparently seriously beat an autistic child during an exorcism. I wonder what happened. I remember that he was starting to become very serious about his faith in our senior year, but I also remember him being reasonable about it. I hope this experience helps him realize that he has taken things too far.
I'm glad that I'm recovering from backwards Christianity - who knows how far away I was from what happened to Ed during the height of my 'addiction.
