Life
I am enjoying Serenity. It is funny how you don't want the baby to grow up when you know she is your last, isn't it? It is important to treasure the moments.
She takes several steps at a time now. The most I have counted is eight at one time. She mostly runs to get that many steps in, it seems like she thinks if she moves faster, she might not fall between her starting point and her intended end point. It is so cute to watch!
Amy (Ryan's sister) was here Thursday night and held her until she fell asleep. She is clearly smitten with her little mini me. Julian loves when Amy comes. He is quite possessive of her and enjoys when she reads to him. I'm pretty sure they are part of a mutual admiration society.
We heard from Ron(Ryan's Dad) Thursday night, it was convenient that he called when both Ry and Amy were here. We found out Two weeks, maybe three now, that he has a cancerous tumor in his liver. He sounded tired, but his spirits were up. I heard a little weariness in his voice though. I am hoping to go out soon and just visit before he starts chemo...we don't know if or when that will happen. He is thinking radiation at this point. I know that those treatments generally make a body sicker at first, so I really want to see him before it starts. He said he could get us a room in an apartment for $49/night, sounds perfect! Now all I need to do is talk it over with Ryan and find out when he wants to go. He seems to be willing to wait a while to find out what is going on before we go. I worry we don't have that kind of time.
I spent a lot of time with a good friend who was diagnosed with liver cancer before she died. The cancer took her much quicker than anticipated. It was very sad. I ache for Ryan, as this will be his second loss...his first was his favorite Aunt. I am sad and worried about how tings will go. I suppose I should just take things one day at a time instead of trying to predict the future or deal with what might possibly happen. I don't want to have regrets though, regrets are a terrible thing, because you can't fix it when it is too late.
