If you have not read the first email from my sister, please do that first...then this one:
=========================================================
Ok, so maybe I didn't mean everything in the last email. Sending emails like that is how wars get started. I was upset and worried and did not follow Dad's cardinal rule, of waiting at least 24 hours. I am upset that I didn't know what was going on and it, well frankly, kinda pissed me off, as I love all three kids very much.
I was just disappointed and hurt that you didn't think enough of your me to let me know.
I also understand that this is not about me, but about the Micah so I need to let that go.
So that's all.
By the way, J--- went to opening day for the D-backs last night and went got some things for kids. I am sending the box, but J--- was the one who got the the gifts. He wanted to send them something.
That's all. Can you please keep me posted?
===================================================
So much drama....I am just too tired for this...I am getting too old.

Dear Samantha's sister, if you had a clue what it was like to be a parent of a child with a heart defect you would not be so cold, heartless and rude. I am a father of a child who has had and will have (in a few days) open heart surgery. I am Very close to my sisters (3 of them) and mother and father and I can tell you that I don't call them every time something is happening with my son Elijah. My wife does a great job of updating our website (babyporta.blogspot.com) for the SOLE PURPOSE OF KEEPING OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS INFORMED. If we called all our immediate relatives for everything we'd be on the phone all the time and to be honest even we only had a few people to call the emotional toll of verbally explaining everything over and over again is too much. We have sick kids to take care of and the stress is such that something like you obviously doesn't understand. You don't understand and can't understand, you shouldn't make assumptions you should just do your best to support your loved ones. Reading what you sent your sister was extremely disturbing and totally immature and inappropriate. Someone who writes that has some deeper issues and this is not the time and place to vent those. I'm sorry for being harsh but GROW UP and step outside of your own selfish desires. Support your sister who is struggling through something very difficult that I hope and pray you'll never have to deal with.
If you want to talk further about how to be a support and not a drain on your sister feel free to contact me,

I can not believe what you have to go through and you are still so positive. I must say that I echo Dan's comments to your sister. It seems she is in real need of counseling. to be angry for not calling as her 2nd letter states, well maybe (ok, i can not think of 1 instance where this is acceptable, but maybe there is .0001). but to be that angry to send a nasty gram the day before a major surgery. good heavens! that was just horrible. please tell me that she called with a really syrupy sugar coated apology. oh my. that is so tough.
not too old. u just have so much else going on. some people don't understand that the anonymity of the internet and the idea of just writing out feelings is cathartic. never mind giving people a call at their convenience rather than yours. when is it quiet in your house when you could call?? sheesh. u have 3 kids and jonathan travels. your sister should be so grateful to be able to read your thoughts and know how to support you. i will now add her to my prayer list.
