Dear Earl,
It's almost the end of my third week of grad school. Bloom clinical finished up last night and from time to time today I felt like I could breathe a little. This morning we took Kinley for a long walk on the rail trail and stopped at the Farmers market. I wouldn't say it was a lazy morning but it was a nice morning spent talking and catching up. We haven't had much of that lately... time to sit and talk or even just be in the same room together. The last three weeks have been insane. But you have been amazing. You have picked up so many of the responsibilities that were mine. More than anything you understand. You get it when I am consumed with reading for hours at a time. You don't mind that I wake you up when I come to bed at all hours. You entertain the kids when I need to get a paper done and then you proof read it for me. You get it and I am so grateful. I also feel slightly guilty. I am fairly certain that I wasn't always supportive when you were in school. I wanted your time to be my time and I most certainly tried to understand but I definitely didn't get it. So I guess I need to say thank you for going first and then cheering me on during my own journey. It's only just begun, I know. It's bound to get harder but having you in my corner is one of the greatest blessings. Thank you for encouraging me, pushing me, giving me a few reality checks and making me laugh. I love you so much.
Love, Em
