Embrace the SUCK!

        I have a wonderful wife. She works and I work from home. She is a great mother to our 13 year old son. We have been together going on 22 yrs. We've had our ups and our downs. I felt like we could get through anything. That's going to be tested. Yesterday, the first of January, in the start of a new year, she informed me that she has cancer. Scared and in tears she woke me from sleep. I held her. I cried. I never thought anything like this would happen. No history. No nothing! I'm done crying now although I'm sure there will be more tears to shed over this next year. I decided to create this blog as a way for me to vent and get out what I need to when I can't to her. I have to be the strong one.

        As the days and weeks pass I will try to post something everyday as a way to document and also to convey our story. She is incredibly strong and I'm not worried she will overcome this attack on her body. Right now she is at work getting ready to share this with her co-worker so she will be able to help with reports down the road. Eventually she is hoping to be able to work from home but that's down the road a piece. She told our son. I hate him having to know but after things really get going you can't hide it. We've always been honest and up front with him on everything so why should this be any different.

        I'm sure I have more to say but honestly I can't think of anything more right now. I'm feeling like shit because I'm sick so I'm sure that's not helping my mood. It's odd that I'm sick and feel like crap and yet I feel like a whiny little child thinking of what she will be going through. Till next time...
