5. Things went well
Liam was a doll and once called my Mommy Amy.....love the little guy.

The service, I hear was absolutely beautiful and heartwrecnhing...apparently just a few days before the accident the youngest, Shane, told his dad he wanted to go to Heaven so he could touch all the clouds.....that he was ready now :cry:

7. I can't imagine.
I recently attended a service of 10 week old baby who passed from SIDS and the family elected to have an open casket.

I was completely caught off guard, because I had been told that their daughter who is the same age as BabyMidlo wouldn't be there, so it would be open.

I pulled into the parking lot and there she was. So, naturally, like a dumbass, I assumed the family had changed their minds so that this child could be present.

I was wrong. I walked around the room looking at all the pictures and beautiful memorabilia of life cut far too short and.... there he was.


I don't think I will ever forget it. Such beauty. Such grace. Such innocence. It haunts me to this day.

8. Truthfully,
I was happy to babysit.... I don't think I could have handled the services.

The main problem with Liam was he wouldn't eat for me....he is going through a mommy only phase and starved himself for hours waiting for her to come home and feed him. I gave him chocolate milk and tried every ten minutes or so to get him to eat just a little....."no ok" he'd say. But he lived through it and all is well.....when he woke up this morning he asked for mommy. I said "mommy is at work, I"m here for now, she is coming back soon." "ok" he said and let me hold him for a good ten minutes, then on to some serious play time. A major improvment from yesterday when his parents could here his screaming on the 6th floor on the ground floor as they left. My brave little guy.

2. Here's the story...
Someone (DUer Skipos) posted a link to his site in some Obama/Clinton thread, I saw it, PM'd it to Sniffa immediately, and then he and I began the Lee Mercer Jr REVOLUTION!!

We'd be glad to have you onboard :patriot:

9. what percentage of Michigan's 'undeclared' (non)delegates do you expect to go to Mercer....
.... at the convention? Is he our possible candidate, should there be a brokered convention? If so, would we be better off having his numerous doctorates awarded to him in court before the convention or after?

11. I lean that way as well
I think it makes him seem more qualified if he has as may doctorates as possible before facing off in the GE, but I think it could also be big publicity during the campaign if he were awarded them in court then.
