Day 87 on Lexapro.

Day 65 on Lamictal.

posted much, much later…

************************************

This morning when we woke up, Em still seemed miserable.

I planned to take her to my mom’s and told her so.

“No,” she replied adamantly. “I want to go to the game! Is it time for the game?!”

And all of a sudden she seemed better.

So, I took her to the game.

While I photographed, she sat in the stands with our friends under a mountain of warm blankets.

Despite the awful night she had experienced, she had a lot of fun.

And she was very happy to see her friend’s team win the championship trophy.

Later this afternoon, we also attended the awards banquet for the team.

Again, I photographed while Em ate lunch with her friend and his teammates.

It was a wonderful way to spend our day.

But, I was excited to get home, too.

This day, Jennifer Black was coming to visit.

So, when we were through eating and photographing, we rushed back to our apartment.

It was not long before Jennifer joined us.

She was happy to see Em, as she had not seen her since she was a baby.

Unfortunately, our time with her was short as she had promised to attend a Kenny G concert with her mother that evening.

We were all sad that she had to go, and promised that we would get together again soon.

When she left, Em and I still needed to find something for dinner.

So, I called Amy.

“What are you doing?” I asked her.

“Looking through the yellow pages trying to find somewhere to eat!” She replied.

“Fantastic,” I told her. “Let’s all eat together!”

And so, after a bit of searching, we ended up at a fabulous sushi restaurant.

And it was wonderful.

What an unexpected treat to end an already amazing day.

As I sat there with Amy and Em, enjoying varieties of sushi I had never tried before, I thought about how overly fortunate I am to have such wonderful friends.

Who have such glorious taste in food.
