Anxiously awaiting

It has been a mixture of joy and angst since I (Baba Sundi) landed in Baltimore Friday night. It has been a busy but great weekend. A friend's wedding on Saturday, a family gathering (for our 96 year old aunt) on Sunday, and trying to do various bills/phone business today. I start back at work tomorrow....and by the way, am very grateful to still have a job!!!!!

It has been wonderful to hug family and friends and have the opportunity to thank them in person for the incredible sacrifices that they made to keep the family intact. It has also been cool to hear other stories about even more people who pitched in to help and have been praying for us. The whole weekend was a non-stop reminder of how blessed we are as a family.

Mama Sundi says that every time there is a knock at the door, Damon thinks it is Daddy. Sundi is sad but we think is beginning to understand that I'm in another place and will eventually come back. Although we are still joyful about June 6th, we really miss each other already...although it is supposed to be all about the kids, selfishly I'm going through a bit of withdrawal!

On the good news front, I was able to obtain a special smoke alarm made for the severely hearing impaired. It not only varies pitch between high (Sundi can't hear) and low (Sundi can hear better), but it also has a very strong light that can go through the eyelids to wake a person up. Cool huh? Sundi sleeps like a rock, so we'll see if it works in the real world. I asked if it came with a supplemental robot that grabs your kid by both arms and shakes them and then pours water on the face of the parent, but this product has not yet been released.

PS-- To my old friend whose email I can't find....I did find that you did a fiddle duel with Charlie Daniels of "The Devil went down to Georgia " fame. That's just nuts. I think I'll have to get your autograph the next time I see you! Email my leveragesynergies gmail address if you get this.
