Last night for the second time in two weeks, we went to Pasta House for Greg Lowry's birthday. Layne had said that she and Jordan were trying to pool their money to take him out to eat. I said I would pay for it, and they could get him a present. So the 7 of us went--Greg, Jordan, Sam, Annie, Layne, Holly and me. And we began to build a family together.
Greg was 52 and in bad health. His long-time view is very clouded so we must use every minute to help him feel good about himself. Layne even made him a cake and took him to get a hair cut. He has never been much of a father to her; but she is taking care of him well.
I don't know how some kids feel empathy and others don't. But Jordan and Layne both do.
