Jacks in Grandpa Seller’s chair

Upstairs, Breanna‘s hard asleep on Jack’s bed. He has that effect on her: sucks out her energy to feed his own until they both stabilize near complete inertness, like Argon or Helium. But what makes today different is that two years ago to the day Jack should have been born. And two years ago on Mother’s Day, he left the hospital for the first time in his life- 72 days old and a respectable 5.5 pound heavyweight. Mother’s Day carries much more meaning for all of us in this family now… that is, when we have the energy to stay awake.
