Tears of Joy and Sadness

I can dance, I can sing, I can do most anything! 

Yes, Son L drove Fio into the hospital this morning where Dr. Michel gave her a shot in her left knee that IMMEDIATELY cured whatever havoc she had wrought when she tried to break a branch over it last Christmastide. She'll have to get another shot in three months. but that's just fine with her. Thank you, God, for modern medicine! 

She came out with tears of joy.

Fiorella's knee problem had always seemed like a minor problem to her--an annoying inconvenience she  had to work around, but once today's shot took effect, it was like she had been released from jail and should go conquer the world. Chocolate seemed more chocolately, world seemed happier, and she was bubbling over with thiansnision.   

Reenter the human race. Energy. Doesn't have to watch her every step.  

Okay, Fiorella is crying now. She was shelving books and came across The Book of Cowboys,  a chaming book etcHusband's favorite book as a chold.favoritechild. Cried because of him and because of the                                 sweet simplicity of the book.
