Love at the bottom of the ladder

Our family ornament this year-a ladder with a heart. Here’s what I wrote to Scott and Grady:
“One might think that a Christmas ornament commemorating your fall is in poor taste. I have a different perspective for us that is worth remembering. Without a doubt, it’s been a difficult time for you, for us. Physical pain, fear. And uncertainty. And yet, what we found at the bottom of the metaphorical ladder was love. From Friends and strangers rushing to help, to caregivers for our son, nourishment for our bodies, help with expenses and many cards and loving reminders that ‘every little thing is going to be allright.’ Yes, what we found at the bottom of the ladder was love.”
