You are the brave one, maybe not by choice, but you are. Love to you both.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11366877357360308978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525985579775978639.post-2250899623871534872011-11-17T01:43:00.089-05:002011-11-17T01:43:00.089-05:00Oh, yeah, and ANOTHER thing ... speaking of those ...Oh, yeah, and ANOTHER thing ... speaking of those UGA student evaluations that I think the whole WORLD should be honored to read, here's my all-time favorite over the past few years, from a student teacher in middle-school education to "Ms. Causey" ... :<br /><br />"...Ms. Causey is to teaching what Bill Gates is to computers!"<br /><br />Wow! Fabulous! Now, if I could just figure out a "subtle" way to send this to Bill Gates...maybe he would volunteer to PAY for Taylor's next surgery!! Ha!!!

NONE of this is, or ...Okay, Mary, listen up, girl! NONE of this is, or ever WAS, your "fault." You have never offered anything other than 187% of pure love and devotion to both of our sons. You are the best(est) mother Cole and Taylor could ever have dreamed of having. You have so many gifts and so many talents...not the least of which is your un-matched ability to make OTHERS feel worthy and loved. It's incredible how many people's lives you have touched so personally over the years. As a teacher, the legions of (mostly poor and deprived) students whose lives you changed forever...your little "puberts" who, over 32 years of public school teaching you inspired and encouraged...and now, at UGA, the wanna-be teachers that you are mentoring and molding....the whole WORLD should read your wonderful student evaluations...and, on and on and on and on. I am so proud of our wrecked marriage and there could never be anyone I could love more than you. For someone who showers love onto everything you touch, you have a hard time letting that love bounce back toward YOU every once-in-awhile! SO...as Taylor-man is wont to say, "Go Nice, Mary!" ...and, better yet, go NICE on yourself! Surely you know that there is no crown large enough to hold all of your stars! Love, Joe (Causey...you know...your "ex" !!) ...I'm gonna be SO pissed if I can't get this to post...Joseph Causeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11275495681363888602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525985579775978639.post-56764155538756925562011-11-14T15:00:47.318-05:002011-11-14T15:00:47.318-05:00Mary,

Watching your precious Taylor suffer and feeling helpless is all a bit too much for any mother to bear. And here you are-making us all smile and feel better once again. Love you and praying for you both. LizLiz Maynoreply@blogger.com
