Sad News

A friend of my friend has been diagnosed with cancer...Mesothelioma. I feel horrible because it wasn't caught early and it's probable she won't make it. There are so many resources out recently for people with the disease or family members of them that I guess it's not as if it's some rare thing and it would be a lonely experience. I know this person has lots of support but knowing the outcome is really just sad. I'm not sure how one goes about preparing for death because it's not something that you really would want to think about but at least there's a little time before it happens and they can all make the best of what time there is.

Just an Update...

It's been a while since I've posted but boy have things changed for me lately. We sold the house, moved into a rental, have been staying in hotels occasionally because of the rental, DH and I have split, and I've acquired a new boyfriend. Right now I'm visiting him, taking a mini vacation for myself at the same time. Things are wonderful and I couldn't be happier...until I go home. Then it will be back into the chaos and I'll be torn up about having to leave him. There are still so many things to do around the house and we already know that by next summer we want to be looking for another place to rent. The one we have is incredibly small and things are broken or don't work, but it's the best we could do for the short amount of time we had. I'm just praying that there will be a time period soon where we can stop worrying for a while and actually relax for once.
