Looking Up
Good morning,
I just got a surprise call about half an hour ago from my aunt and uncle. They are here visiting from Denver today. This is the end of their vacation and they made a point to swing through here on their way so that they could say, "Hello" and enjoy a short visit. Therefore, I am going to rush through this morning's newsletter and blow off the rest of today's workload.
Also, my youngest son is turning 9 yrs old later this week. His birthday celebration always lands during the Veteran's Day school holiday. "Happy Veteran's Day" to all of you veterans and military families. And "Happy Birthday" to my littlest sweetheart.
Hope you all are finding good reasons to play hooky now and then.
take care,
Skye Thomas

How We Approach Curing Cancer
Earlier this morning, I came across this great article about how the medical community is beginning to change the way they look at curing cancer.

Feature Article of the Week:
For My Littlest Sweetheart
Honey, I know that you wish that I did not have to work. I know that at three-
First of all, do you know that while your big brother is at school, he almost cries
thinking about you looking out the window waiting for the school bus to bring him
back home to you? It is not cool for big teenagers to love little three-
Do you know that your sissy has ended friendships with her classmates because they did not think it was cool to have a baby brother always tagging along? Do you know that she will not tolerate anyone brushing you aside as if you were less then cool just because you are not a teenager like the others? Do you know that she is planning to move away from her friends during the middle of her high school years just so that we could all pack up and follow your big brother to college? She wants you to still be able to see him, and is willing to sacrifice her last two years of socializing with those other kids just so that you and your brother can stay close. Yeah, she loves him too. She plans to go to college within the same area that your brother picks, just so they can both be near you.
You see, you may feel like they abandon you every morning to get on that school bus, but the truth is, it breaks their hearts to think that you'll just be starting elementary school when they are both leaving home to start their adult lives. They cannot bear to see you go it alone. They will never really abandon you my sweet.
As for me... did you know that every book I write, every article, every word... they are all letters to you, and to your siblings, and to my future grandchildren, and their children too. You see, I imagine what your life would be like if I was no longer alive. What kinds of problems could arise? How would you pick a spouse? How would you pick your jobs? How would you raise my grandchildren? Then I write these letters to you telling you what your mama would do if she were in your shoes. Sometimes I tell you what I did wrong. Sometimes I tell you to pick your own path. Sometimes, I tell you how to pick a path. Even my work here at this computer is really for you and the other children. See, I never really leave you. It just seems like it as you play with your Lincoln Logs on the floor beside my desk. Why do you think my desk is in the dining room instead of behind an office door? Because I could never shut you out.
You know, even if we were wealthy and I did not have this great calling to write these articles and books, I would still have to work. And even if your brother and sister did not go to school, they would still have to work too. Why? Because there is always laundry to be rolled, dishes to be washed, toilets to be scrubbed, and lawns to be mowed. That is just the way it is. I suppose if we were outrageously rich, I could hire someone to do it all for us and then we really could play together all day. But, you know what? The three of us are just like you, we get bored, we get restless, and we need new adventures, something to expand our minds, our hearts, and our souls. We would still want to study, to read, to learn, to explore the world. Yes, we could all travel together, studying the pyramids, exploring exotic cultures, and maybe we would even go out in search of Atlantis. And we would buy a big house on the beach so that we could chat with the starfish every morning and gaze into the sunset every night.
Until then, we will run away for play days and we will laugh and play together in between the paragraphs and the chapters that I write. Yes, of course you can climb up into my lap one more time. Without you, I would be a workaholic and would not remember to take breaks for hugs and kisses. Thank you so much for being here my littlest angel.
