And in case I didn't feel bad enough, when I was tucking Danny in tonight he told me that he was right behind me when the apple bag toppled -- at the foot of the walkway as I was going in the front door -- and that he yelled to me to help him and I didn't come. He fretted about how few apples were left in the bag and worried about whether I would still be able to make pies.

I finally promised to bring him apple picking next week on his birthday, to the orchard he liked so much last year. I could tell he felt better because he went back to acting like an infurating dork.

I just couldn't stand hearing him say that he hated himself and that he was a terrible person.
