"They're the world my world revolves around, my sacred piece of solid ground. The flesh and bone that gives me streangth to stand. They're the fire in my driving on, the drive behind my coming home. The living, breathing reason that I am."

We are not on vacation anymore!

Vacation ended with a phone call from my dad. He had been diagnosed with mesothelioma. My heart sunk! Not my dad....I have always saw my dad and this invincible person who would live until I was 100! When I was a little girl I had anxiety pretty bad. I couldn't go to spend the nights at friends houses, or on field trips, or even to school until I was about 10 without crying and feeling scared. I remember in 2nd grade, we went on a field trip to the fire station. Half way there I made myself sick with worry on the bus! This happened time and time again, until I grew out of it. I am right back to where I was 20 years ago! Nothing prepares you for this! We have had a rough few weeks since the diagnosis. I have so many emotions right now, that my words may seem jumbled and not make alot of sense. I feel helpless, angry, tired, sick....I could go on and on! Right now, I am hoping for a miracle! I know they happen, so bring it on!
