The Tracks of My Tears

So I'm a complete dork, in case you don't already know that, and was all teary driving into work today listening to Smokey Robinson on the radio...

People say I'm the life of the party
Because I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears...

So of course the rest of this is a break up song but we have had a rough couple days with Evan and the beginning of the song sort of fit how I was feeling.

On Monday Evan had another pretty bad seizure and today he had a bad toxic reaction to his medication so it's been a bit of a roller coaster. It seems like every week we are adjusting his medicine up or down or adding in something new. Evan is completely unfazed by all of it so we really have to follow his lead, but it isn't always easy.

Love that song and hate that you are feeling that way.

Tears of a Clown is another great Smokey song on the subject, and you can listen to the really upbeat English Beat version!

Wishing all of you peace and strength.

Love you guys,

Claudia
