I thought of all of you teachers last night at our Grandson’s HS graduation . They all filed in and sat there while over 300 kids got their diplomas.Some do this year after year. God bless all of you. Luckily we only have 3 grandsons and this is the 2nd.one more to go. A little side story. Our GS last name starts with C. So he was across the stage pretty quickly. He’s also T1D. We were sitting there trying to be attentive while 289 other grads go across when I saw my son look at his phone and frown. He then texted my DIL who was across the venue in a prime photo taking place. She looks at her phone. I realize my son is now looking at the app which shows our GS glucose level. I pulled out my phone and pulled up the app and his Glucose was way too high. My son texted his son to look at his monitor and get working on getting it down. I  never saw another kid walk across the stage. We were all busy refreshing our app watching his glucose numbers go down. By the end of the ceremony he was fine. I thanked him afterwards for making the evening fly by. 


awww, congrats! I’m sorry for that stress but what a sweet story. All the best to you and your grandson.

Thank you. He is the sweetest boy you’ll ever meet. He was diagnosed when he was 10. I’m still angry  about it and someday some higher being is going to have to explain to me why this happened.

Paul,

 

I wasn't going to post anything about your dad's passing, but thought better of it when I considered the analytical approach to surviving the loss of a loved one might help you, like it helped me a lot when my mom passed away in 2016 - not when someone first shared it with me (too soon) but after a little time passed and I was ready to use it.

 

The idea is first to memorize the five stages (it's a quick read), then when you're feeling overwhelmed, confused... anything, you analyze which stage of recovery you're in, keeping in mind the stages can overlap and that you can be feeling more than one of them at a time. 

 

Hope it helps.  And I hope your cruise is awesome and you hit a jackpot in the casino.

 

Your friend and mine, Jeff  (the other Jeff... the regular-sized Jeff)

But seriously, thank you to all the teachers out there, don't know how you do it.

 

On another note- your pictures of that beautiful ship have inspired me to book on either the Venezia or Firenze, just not sure which one yet

Do it! It’s a fun slice of cruising unique to anything else I’ve done.

Works for me, but does that really do him justice?

 

Giant Jeff?

Colossal Jeff?

Enormous Jeff?

look, if we’re basing this on your being regular Jeff and Jamman being way bigger than you, there is no choice other than Jumbo Jeff. AKA the coolest nickname ever

Nishone 🇮🇳, Heroes. I asked for Woodford and zero (they’re out of 🦬 here - my bad), he made a Woodford and sprite. He saw my puppy dog eyes and remade it for me. My man.
