Love that Tumblr!! And you better 'keep at it' too! At least it's working for someone? LOL Base jumping off swing sets was always popular when I was a kid.

I know every single loss like this is a unique landscape of sorrow, and having walked through my own landscapes I have so much sympathy for what you and your family must be feeling now. Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos. Her joy is evident, and heartening. I'm glad you got to say goodbye. I’m very sorry to hear about your loss.

Without a 'chute. The last part of your post cracked me up. Poop IS an epic saga. I was talking to a friend last night, complaining that it's ridiculous that we can go to work, and manage people and huge projects, and balance million dollar budgets and be lauded and get all this positive feedback and affirmation, then come home and be slaves to a completely irrational human that refuses to poop anywhere but in its own pants. If you told someone just that story, without including the fact that you were a parent, they would assume you worked nights in a mental hospital or were a caretaker for someone with dementia, and they would talk about your incredible personal strength and commitment. You tack on that you're a parent and the dialogue shifts to, "ugh. Can we not talk about poop?" Poop is a big part of our lives, people! We think about it constantly. We ask if it's going to happen, if it might happen, if it IS happening, if it has happened, many times a day. Which reminds me of this: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwy0ess1C61qbymou.jpg Which is from him: http://messagewithabottle.tumblr.com/ And if that doesn't make your day better, probably nothing can. You and J are awesome, and the end of potty training is probably closer to you now than you know. It's hard to "keep at it" when you feel like you're not actually doing anything effective...but Keep at it!

I read your blog every day. I just didn't respond to this post earlier because, you know, reasons. The part that made me laugh out loud was all of it, and especially the "I also probably couldn’t handle giving advice and him not taking it" bit. What? I read your blog every day.

So sorry Grammy is in hospice, it is hard to know what to say.. but just being there will mean so much to her. Maybe bring her a couple of the books to read and just sit with her. Hugs to everyone.
