Life with Boys

Wow, it's been awhile since I've blogged. I guess with the passing of another year, I've found myself too old to keep up. Okay maybe not. Just too busy maybe.

Life has been interesting here for the past two days.

I've learned that there is something going on in my family (sister's family) that is horrible and I don't know how to react to it. I'm very confused and hurt by all of it. I haven't even talked to my sister yet concerning it. I'm too worried about my own feelings and working out how I feel to talk to her. Selfish of me, I know but in the end it's probably better cause I sure know how to spout off at the mouth sometimes without thinking.

My mom called me this morning to inform me that my aunt fell and broke her hip on Tuesday and will be going in today for surgery. She turns 65 tomorrow. Great birthday for her, huh? She has been dealing with a lot recently so this isn't helping matters.

I feel for my dad because this is his sister and I can only imagine what is running through his mind. His oldest sister has alzheimers and doesn't know who she is most of the time. His next oldest died 8 years ago. Then this happens. It's just him and his little sister to deal with everything.

My husband's grandfather most likely has lung cancer. He has been sick for awhile and we thought in February we were going to lose him but he pulled through, thankfully. However, they discovered some round marks on his lungs. They thought it could just be scar tissue from all his years of smoking. Well he went for another cat scan last week and they have gotten bigger so it looks like cancer. My mother in law doesn't hold out much hope for recovery and honestly, most of the family doesn't either.

It's been a long hard year for us so far. We are praying for good news from somewhere to help our year look brighter.
