Good Day

Dad coming home early from Philly because they opted not to do chemo since it has not shrunk the tumors at all would usually be a bad day, but in three weeks they are going in for a surgery where they aim directed radiation at the individual tumors to kill them and that makes me happy. Not to mention that my opinion is that when dealing with an incurable, life-threatening disease, it is always positive when things aren't getting worse. My dad has always been one of those to be like Vanilla Ice and just solve the problem while his dj revolves it, but I'm glad to see him understanding that its going to take treatment and management the rest of his life and most of us are happy with that as long as we get to have him here on earth longer and longer!'

Bad Day

The government sucks; I hate jumping through hoops that get you nowhere in business. My bro's financial aid at school has got dad stressed out, which is not good when he and mom are running around trying to get everything in order for the monthly Philly trip for dad's chemo. We all have these days when you just want to stop, go away, and not look at whatever it is in front on you. And some may say to keep on keeping on, but maybe it isn't so bad to slow it all down, get away and re-center yourself. That's what I did tonight and why my little vent here is this short. Thank you to my sweet wife and Kristin and Patrick!
