Father and Son

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

Long Silence…

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

I know, this blog has been awfully quiet for the last little while. The problem is, my 4-month-old son has decided to stop sleeping. He used to be a pretty good sleeper: at 2 months old, he would sleep from 9 to 3, then from 3:30 to 6:30 or 7... ...

One of my uncles just died of cancer, leaving behind 4 children. The youngest is 15 years old... Another of my uncles has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. And one of Zakary's uncles passed away last week of ALS (amyothrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease). It is sad, of course, ...
