But, Charlie is so Adorable and if his Older Sister is too, I can see them melting your Fears away and making it worth it to let down your Guard and defenses. Glad that their Mama is more capable of Parenting them and is allowing you to meet the Children and form Relationship. So sorry about your painful Feet and hope you get some relief. Walking Old does give us a pace that lends itself to lingering and often the Kiddos enjoy that slower pace when doing things together... Life's pace is often too brisk and hectic anyway.Bohemianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743017084098726581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333912009540131399.post-26736908845261413062022-03-03T17:39:12.294-08:002022-03-03T17:39:12.294-08:00I confess, I wondered when Charlie would find you....I confess, I wondered when Charlie would find you.

I'm glad that you're being so honest with your fears and your trepidation. It's completely ok to feel that way. I have a feeling, too, that little Charlie will benefit from all your and the Big Guy's love, no matter how it's spread around.

Caring and connection can bring hurt. I hope the experts can figure out a way to help your poor feet. In your job and my former one (teaching), foot problems are de rigueur.

Hope the physio gives you relief you need until you are able to retire. Sending love.<br /><br />As always, I love looking at the photos you post.

The goal of taping was to reduce the pull of the fascia on the anchor point in the heel, or something along those lines. Can you ask your physio if it could help? PF is just torture.<br />Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475433199308666648noreply@blogger.com
