leaving on a jet plane
Well
I've been a little MIA lately.
We've been going through some family problems at the moment.
We found out last week that my Mom has stage IV cancer. I can't believe it. We are just devastated. I don't even know what to think.
Rob and I are flying out to the States today to be with her and do what we can. (she doesn't know that we are coming...but should she reads this before we get there we will be on a plane and won't be able to do anything about it)
I really don't know what to type right now. Everything just seems quite, well, trivial at the moment.
But please, if you can, keep my Mom in your thoughts and prayers. We need all of the positive energy we can get at the moment.
It's a very strange feeling right now. Usually I'm really excited about going to the States. Normally I'm starting to get excited about seeing my family and friends. But is is a very different feeling this time.
And it's bloody winter there at the moment. I haven't had to deal with snow for over 10 years. jeez.
This is just all so surreal right now. I know I'm rambling and not making a whole lot of sense...but my mind is just so all over the place.
But at least I'm in a position where I can take a leave from work to go help my Mom. I'm very thankful for that. And I'm very grateful that Rob can come with me to help get things settled.
I'll blog more when I know more.
