Living and Dying

In the midst of living and doing all we can to make our lives better we are dealing with death. Most know that my husband's step-mother has been battling stage 4 colon cancer. Her first round of chemo lasted almost 1 year and did not work. The doctors informed my father in law a few weeks ago that there were no more treatment options for her at this point. Her cancer has spread to almost all of her organs and she has accepted that she is going to die. Today we were informed that the doctor at her long term care facility told my father in law she may not live a week.

I'm trying to build my business and care for my family and figure out how to help my father in law deal with loosing his wife. My hubby is worried about his dad and I can totally understand that.

Well to top it all off.. we have our 18 year old niece flying in from New Hampshire on Tuesday the 26th. MY step-mom is having hip replacement surgery on the following Tuesday and I have meetings every Tuesday night at 7! I mean I CAN miss these meetings anytime i need too i am just very passionate about my career!

I will do what has to be done because that is who I am. I will lean on my heavenly Father to get us through all this so that we will be stronger as a family.
