The Mayor's surgery is today, this morning, right now.
He went for his pre-op visit yesterday and while there, introduced himself to the nurse, the technician and the anesthesiologist.
He told each of them his full name and then, with a wide grin, added,
"But my nickname is The Mayor."He made them laugh with a spontaneous performance he called "Yoga Booty Ballet."
It involved an interesting assortment of lunging stretches and bottom gyrations.
"This makes my butt really strong," he said, sticking it way out.He was in an extraordinarily good mood, sparkling, shining, glowing.
He was absolutely radiant, alive with energy, bursting with life.
Though maybe I was just keenly aware of him in the way a mother will be in the moments leading up to the inevitable small cup of liquid versed and the time when the surgical suits wheel that small child away from you, through double locked security doors towards that thing they are calling the procedure.
Do me a favor, if you don't mind... hold The Mayor in the light today.

They took my baby for ear tubes, which took all of 10 minutes. But still, he was wearing the hospital gown and I gave him to the nurse and OMG he took my breath with him and it didn't return until they handed him back to me - awake and smiling and clueless!
I am sending good thoughts and vibes to your whole family.
In all of my thoughts and prayers today!!

Thinking of you and your brave Mayor.
It's harder to watch these things happen with your kids than it is to endure them yourself. Prayers your way for all of you.
Holding him.
And later we'll chat about how he knows yoga booty ballet.
my nephew broke his arm when he was little. littttle, like three. and i know how hard it is to watch them be rolled away. like they're ripping your heart out of your chest.
thinking of him and of you. sending thoughts of light.
he has his strong booty on his side.
He's out now and in your arms and all is well, but I know you won't forget the wheeling away of your heart for a long time. Or the handing over of trust.
Of course, The Mayor will only remember the butt dance. It's so easy being a kid.
Done.
I am hoping it all went without a hitch.
xo
Vitamin E and I are thinking good thoughts for the Mayor and the family that loves him so.
in the light, in the light, in the light.......
(I feel a little like Mulan running off the roof..)
(Mayor)
He'll be good, J. He wont' feel great at first, but after a week or so, he'll be good.
Will do, will do, will do.
Thinking of you all. Hope things go well!
Glad everything went well.
How DID he earn the nickname The Mayor?
Because he's diplomatic? Or a born politician?
