The shorts

(Memory pit stop from 8/15/17)

Jonathan and Michael were snuggled fast asleep in bed.  All the kids have taken their turns finding their warm nook next to their Daddy.  Michael has always been our king of cuddle even from infancy.  And how he loves his Daddy.  What really hit me about this photo is Jonathan’s shorts.  Jonathan always preferred a dressier look and NEVER wore athletic wear.  As the ability to use his hands diminished he still wanted to go to the bathroom alone.  We had to drastically change what he wore so he could pull his own pants down.  Within time, even elastic band athletic wear became too difficult and the discovery of condom catheters and leg bags became a game changer.

These grey shorts.  He lived in these grey shorts and a blue pair just like them.  They were his wardrobe for over a year and he hated it.
