When Edwin was just still ill, his friend Joe called and we were talking. One of us remembered the prayer bowl that Edwin had gotten Jay (Joe, Jr.) as a baby. Joe and Karen got the baby working on his bowl, and sent these pictures.

Today, I spent a good part of the day with the father and the son. It was a tough, lovely day, as we alternately talked Edwin, worked on the memorial celebration, and played with Jay. Thanks, Joe. And thank you Jay: blowing on your tummy was great fun!

And even in our sleep
pain that cannot forget
falls drop by drop
upon the heart,
and in our own despite
against our will,
comes wisdom to us
by the awful grace of God

" the prayer bowl that Edwin had gotten Jay (Joe, Jr.)"

is cool

and the picture (and hoping the little guy will ring it) is precious.

Lovely.
