My Friend, Amy, Has It Right,

Below is an excerpt from Bo's mother as she journals their experience. No one is an expert on any of this. What works for one person physically and mentally, may not work for another.

"Y'all this journey is like riding a rollercoaster blindfolded. You know everything is going to be fine at the end of the ride and you will get off at some point, but you have no idea what's coming up in the meantime. There is no way to be prepared. I went from crying my eyes out this morning, full of worry and sadness to laughing at him and enjoying each moment this evening. I guess we just have to get up each morning and hope there will be more laughing than crying."



Two Irish companies were competing for a contract to put up telegraph poles. The authorities decided to test them, seeing which company could put up the most poles in an hour. The first company achieved twenty but when the second company's tally came in it was only two.

"I'm afraid you lost the job", the second company was told, "the other boys managed twenty to your two."

"Ah," came the reply, "but they cheated. Did you see how much they left sticking out of the ground?"
