There’s not many things Zach can do for Shaun, not really anyway. Sure, he can cook supper once in a while when Shaun is lost in his writing, or he can swing by the grocery store on the way home from school when they run low on mac-and-cheese or beer, but there’s just not many things he can do.

He can’t help Shaun get his chapters done the way Shaun helped him apply to Cal Arts. He can’t erase the hurt in Shaun’s eyes when Cody has to introduce him as just ‘Shaun’ instead of as ‘my other Dad’. He can’t even help Shaun pay many of the bills because there’s only so many hours in the day to work and go to school.

And that’s all he can do.

But this…he can do. He can open his heart as he opens his arms and let Shaun crawl right in to lay down his weary head. He can hold him tight as he cradles him close and let him whisper all his fears about not finding the right words to finish his book…all the while rubbing his back and kissing his forehead and telling him how truly amazing he really is. He can be there for Shaun…offering comfort…offering shelter…offering a love without limits.

So sweet, Susan; so very beautiful and moving. I'm melted here, just a big puddle of joy on the floor. Thank you!!!

Love you!!

Tammy.

..offering shelter…offering a love without limits....

**sigh** Just offering Shelter.

Well, then my work here is finished, because it was my intention to have everyone melted into big puddles of joy on the floor. :0)

And thank you, my dear sweet girl, for your virtual gift and loving words. Please, please do not feel bad for not knowing I was having a problem...I didn't tell hardly anybody because I didn't want it to be a big deal. Yes, I had breast cancer earlier this summer, but I took care of it (good-bye boobies!) and am having the radiation just as a precaution. I'm pretty embarrassed I even mentioned it to tell you the truth, but I was feeling sorry for myself and it slipped out. Do not waste one second of worry on me because I am f-i-n-e, fine.

But, oh, how I love you to death for thinking of me. You truly are a blessing to me, one I count twice every night when I say my prayers.

Huge hugs,
Fizzer
