This morning kicked off SO beautifully. Cher came back to work after a long stretch of alternating gross sicknesses with our family. Either we were folded over a toilet or she could hardly stand or speak. Its not been gentle. But today, everyone was well enough to be together. Brady also had an appointment scheduled with a community occupational therapist and our bathroom contractor/accessibility guy/friend this morning, so he didn’t go into work right away. So Cher, Brady, and I sat in the living room and had coffee together. And it was after the five went to school, and the three slept in. Like. It was the dream.
But goodness, I had to laugh 😂 Cher was just regaining her voice, so since we didn’t have to talk over the din of any squawky little ones, she talked quite quietly. Meanwhile, Brady and his chronic sinusitis has his one ear miserably plugged, making him deaf as a post. Brady was situated to my left and Cher was on my left. And there were definitely times where they would talk to each other and the conversation would go weird directions because they could hardly communicate 🤣 I enjoyed their dynamic privately for a while before I saw the confusion cross their faces simultaneously, and then I let them in on the joke.
We had a good laugh and Brady rolled a little closer. It was pretty adorable. I loved it.
It was fun to be the three of us. We don’t do it too terribly often, but we did it constantly during covid times, which are oddly fond memories for us. So once in a while when we get to have a coffee together, despite how much has changed, it feels very warm and homey.
It was a beautiful start to the day 💜 Thank you, Lord.
