"Poppa's goin' to wake me up early in the morning
While the dew's on the meadow and the stars still shine
You gotta get up early if you want to get going
'Fore the sun is coming up on Caroline"

It's four o'clock in the morning here, and an hour earlier on Caroline St, in Wisconsin where I was born and grew up (as much as anyone grows up in their teens. The dew is on the meadow up here in Derby, and the stars are shining brightly. We're on our way now on a journey none want to take, but I feel peaceful. All will be well again.

Thanks for all the well-wishes, thoughts and prayers..

Jerry
