MB2 got his acceptance letter to MWSU. Not that that’s a hard thing to do, just that I guess it’s official that he’s going. It’s my goal to have them all go to college, and so far we’re 2 for 2. I take that back — I would personally rather have MB4 join the military, but that’s never going to happen. He’s perfectly suited, and loves the whole idea of it, but they won’t let him in if he’s bipolar. I understand the why’s, but it still sucks. I just know he’d be at home in the service. Taking orders, the routine, the weapons — just a good fit. Now a policeman, on the hand — big no no. He would have to use his own  judgment for each situation, and that wouldn’t be good. He’d be a great doctor, but he would suck at talking to patients and family  “properly”. Dad’s surgeon had aspergers – I’d bet your nuts on it – and he was just awful on giving us any news. He just spat out facts no matter how brutal it was for us. He was a very kind man, don’t get me wrong, but he really should have had someone else break the news to us that dad was dying.

Wow, that sentence stung.
