Hump Day

Yayyy we're halfway to the weekend yet again!! 

Not a lot on our agenda for today.   Work and then the Y.   If it doesn't  rain hoping to take the girls to the park.   If it rains it'll probably be a relaxing day in catching a movie or something.  We're really enjoying my niece being here with us.   I'm hoping she's having fun...lol actually I know she is. 

Last night we had 2 visitations to go to.  It was a tough evening.  The one was for my uncle's father in law....older man so not so hard to take.   The other was for a friend's father in law.   He had run a 1/2 marathon on Sat and had a heart attack and died after he finished.   Just before the race started...she told him a secret.   She told me last night that it wasn't planned but for some reason she just felt she had to tell him.   She is expecting their 2nd baby.   What a sad day for the whole family.   Learning a new life will be joining them just as they lost  him.   This happened to me when I was pregnant with my son.   I wasn't going to tell my mother yet but for some reason I did.   Well, she died about a week later.  

Well, you all have a wonderful day!

 

Michelle, that is hard.... Life is strange like that, having a secret, and then, for some strage reason, having the need to tell...... then, all of the sudden, they die.  wow

We have been having a hrad time here at work with that as well, one of my close co-worker's.... he is VERY close with his family (he & his wife have no children-but are very family oriented) his mom has cancer, and has been going thru chemo treatments too... about 2 weeks ago, he told us that she was having problems with staggering & occasionally falling..... they did a CAT scan & the cancer has traveled to her brain.  Yesterday, I found out that her cancer has spread to her spine as well.

And, with my fater-in-law..... he is doing ok with his chemo treatments, they are all done with going down to Stanford University until July 22nd, when they will be performing the bone marrow transplant.... he still goes to the cancer treatment center daily, in his town, and gets 3 chemo shots in his stomach.

So................. we have been struggling here, as well, with loved ones, and co-worker's & their loved ones, it is a sad time, knowing he will lose his mom soon.  It just SUCKS!!
