I've had terrible news given to me today. It involves a close family member and it concerns a life-threatening condition and it requires immediate attention. I don't want to say much because if this blog ever gets outed I don't want their details exposed. I'm only writing because this outlet is my escape from reality and my catharsis. I'm in shock and devastated at the same time. I don't know the prognosis, surgery will tell us more. It means a person I love will have to relearn how to walk, talk and do things we take for granted. This person is younger as well as much more fit than I've ever been. This person is a parent of a young child. I can't even think straight. I'm not looking for sympathy although I know many of you will feel it, and I love that about you all. I'm simply writing as a way to get what's inside out. We are close this person and I and I have never been more thankful for not having a job than I am right now.
If I resume my regular light hearted postings, please forgive me in advance for being seemingly coldhearted - it will continue to be my coping strategy if I can bring myself to it. Please continue to reply to my other posts, I won't mind, in fact I'll enjoy the re-direction of my thoughts. Thanks guys.
