It never lets you rest. It's always there, lurking, in the dark, waiting to come out. Just when you think that's it, it strikes again. We went through 3 of the worst years of our lives after Michaels cancer diagnosis and now this! My brother-in-law was diagnosed with Leukemia.I'm devastated! I feel so helpless, I want to do something yet I can't. All I can do is let my sister-in-law talk to me, listen to her, be there for them, even if it's just by phone. This is the 6th person in that neighborhood that has it. 3 didn't survive it. This is crazy! Why him, why now? He's been through so much. He doesn't deserve this.

Everyone Needs a Little Time Out

Yesterday we went fishing. It was a beautiful summer day. The sun was shining, it was hot but there was a nice breeze that cooled things just a bit. We went to some of our old fishing spots, but like I suspected, there were few fish. The hot weather has heated the water and the fish swim to deeper waters. All in all, it was a nice day though, a change of pace, a time to clear your head, a time out!
