Haf way there!

Today Jack headed to VA with my husband and my in-laws. The house is pretty much a ghost town but oddly very comfortable probably because there is less to clean. I am looking forward to spending time with just Andrew. I miss Jack and am hoping it is not too much of a pain for my in-laws. Jeff is doing well and is handling this next waiting preiod well.
Andrew is starting 1st grade next year. His teacher said he was bright and funny and both of those comments just delighted me!
Well not much time to write...Andrew wants to go play!

Next Chapter

A year ago I started to try and blog. I thought with how much I run my mouth it would be fairly easy for me to sit down a few times a week or at least a month and spit some thoughts out. Inevitably life got away from me and now in the midst of a new chapter, that is more crazy than before, I decided I would try again.
I have said before I am blessed and I feel as if I truly appreciate what I have. I also know I work for it and have earned all that I have. Now Jeff's cancer has returned. he has gone through intensive stem cell rescue and additional chemo and 5 weeks after treatment it appears the tumor is growing back again.
So where do I stand do I wallow in the new norm or do I move forward and fight it with everything I have. The answer is easy and simple, we will fight this we will move forward. But in the background when a sad movie is on or certain song I will let myself feel lost. I just need to feel lost long enough to make myself strong for the fight again. Of course as I write this all it is not my fight, it is his fight and he is stronger and braver this time then ever before. So I am still blessed to have him in my life - 10 years of Jeff is better than 50 of any other man!
