Life in Perspective

One month ago, or nearly one month ago, I posted to my blog.  Honestly, I can't believe a month has passed this quickly.  Our world has been turned upside down.  It is so hard to believe that the other life before existed.  Both Mr. Fixit and I have each witnessed a serious illness for one of our parents. 

Both parents have been fighters, but it is truly difficult to imagine how this situation became possible.  One of the most difficult things I have experienced, up to this point, is caring for a sick child.  That is tough.  They don't understand why or what is happening to them, but they feel miserable.  Plus, you lose much sleep in the process.  However, I would concur that a sick parent is almost as trying. 

Our little guys are too little to understand what is happening, and hospitals are really not a good environment for toddlers and preschoolers.  So, Mr. Fixit and I have not been able to help and see our parents as much as we would like.  We simply pray.

On a recent visit to see my Dad, for the first time since his diagnosis, we snapped this shot of all 10 grandchildren.  This was one of Mom's request during our visit.  Thanks Sis JK for making this happen!
