Well it's like friday today for me. I have Thursday and Friday off and am going to Platteville. I emailed my mom and she said that she was going to Columbus because my sister Heather is starting chemo because the cancer has spread to her lungs. None of this is good news. I guess we'll be visiting Dad and Robin this weekend (Chad is gone also). Anyway, Cherity and I have been trying to figure a way out on how to go and visit Heather in Columbus. Either Fly or spread out a drive to Columbus and back over a long period of time stopping on the way. I need to talk to Heather about that.

It's such a terrible thing to think about. I feel terrible for all of them, especially since my family is kinda the same age. We both have 2 children at the same age and I can't imagine not seeing my boys grow up. It's so cliche but it is something you totally take for granted. I was talking to Cherity about this and she thought it was interesting how different people deal with this. My first response when I first heard about Heather's cancer returning I felt numb and didnt' know what to think and then I went to work that day in Dubuque and had to deal with a guy who is 60 some years old and was selfish, crabby, and was a totally thankless person. I thought to myself how unfair that this old Bastard could live till he was in his 60's (and probably make it alot longer) and my sister who has always been a kind, generous, positive person who just by her presence in a room demands attention could possibly be taken early. I've always known life isn't fair but it really slaps you in the face in situations like this. I hate that I can't see them and haven't seen them for so long.
