Band-aids for the most part provide little in the way of healing. True, they keep the dirt out, but mostly we put them on to feel a little better about the pain. But here is the thing about Band-aids, when you do decide to pull them off sometimes they hurt like hell.

So the last few days have been pretty crappy around the Henderson house. It seems tears are the only acceptable reaction to anything. We get flowers, we cry; We have incredibly nice people drop food off, we cry; Kerri Jackson writes a beautiful blog post, we cry; Something funny, sad, happy, [...]
Here I am, closing in on 48 hours after it all. The last two days have seemed like months or years rather than hours.

Most things in life are a whole lot easier if you have someone going through it with you. Brandie is very supportive and calms a lot of fears that I have about becoming a dad, however her experience in this is completely different than mine. When we found out I was a little worried because [...]
