Mothers are a special breed of people. When they hear their children need them, at any age, they drop what they are doing and rush to help. Stephen's mother Georgina and my mother Nancy have done just that during this difficult time for our family. Both Georgina and Nancy lead lives full of activities; they sorted out their schedules and they arrived; Nancy first for two weeks and Georgina just spent an entire month in Urbana. Nancy is returning soon.
A month is a fair amount of time to take out of one's schedule and we really appreciate everything Georgina did - from the regular housework chores, lawn care, extra projects in the house, to sorting Saul's busy schedule with rides to all his activities, making sure Daniel did not ride his bike to appointments 5 miles away (because it increased my stress level), and teaching Saul and Daniel the finer points of how to dust and vacuum their rooms while she carried the bulk of the housework. Moms, thank you for everything, we love you!!
