Whenever I get into one of ‘those moods’ I love sitting inside a coffee shop, next to a window, with a good cup of coffee, my favorite pen, molskine journal (a.k.a. my sanity) and/or my laptop.

Baby was sleeping. I had a few hours to get some stuff done. I pulled out my laptop, plugged it in, and waited for it to boot-up. Itunes launched and I remembered that I had about 6 minutes of a sermon I had began listening to on the morning of July 16–the day Will had his accident.

Mom and Dad talked to the spinal surgeon this morning and doesn’t think that surgery is the best option for Will. The DR thinks the brace he is in , currently, is sufficient enough.

“Olivia, will has been in a really bad car wreck. They are taking him to a hospital in Oklahoma. I’m going right now with Raelynn’s parents. Wait for your father to call you.”

Seriously, mom? Again?
