I am not sad to see it go. It has been an year with ups and downs unfortunately the downs have almost seem overwhelmingly deep. The ups have been wonderful yet in a more subdued fashion.
Pats cancer has consumed so much this year. Not sure what the expected outcomes will be this year, but if I were a betting woman, I would have to say this is an aggressive cancer and I do not know if it is over or masticizing as I write. D and I try to be there for Chloe. Since Pat does not eat and is on a Gtube and has had his trach in since his surgery on July 23, they have not been able to go on their favorite pastimes of eating out. They celebrated their 50th anniversary with no fanfare or liquid bubbling over in their consumption which has also been curtailed.
Blessings attached to this Cancer is that both Pat and Chloe have had priesthood blessings. They feel loved by the cards everyone sends.
Other blessings are that D and I are working with purpose to keep connected. Our Grands know us. Our kids put up with us and I think at times even like us. I am grateful for my opportunity to work with the life skills kiddos, which feels more like a calling in life rather than a job.
Not sure how 2015 will play out. Prayers for miracles and tender mercies in particular for Pat and Chloe.
