Sometimes you have a rough patch, and I am in a little rough patch of my own these days.
Adam lost his job last week. He had been employed there for 10 years and truly liked his job. It scares me financially, but you keep your chin up and you stay brave. I know that God has a good plan for Adam, and in turn for all of us.
Addison got his tonsils out today. He is such a trooper, but it isn't any fun for him or his family. We have tried to make it not so tough... what is wonderful is they have real pain medication for little guys now. I am grateful for that. My mom also got him a little ipod shuffle and made some homemade chicken noodle soup, which definitely beats the Mrs. Grass soup he was going to get from me....LOL....
Last bump in the road, which is huge and makes my heart heavy just to think about it, is our friend Dave who has battled a brain tumor for a year and a half. He is in the hospice room at our local hospital and my heart breaks for them. It is hard to understand something as ugly as cancer. He and his wife are just a bit older than Adam and I and have children our children's ages.
I have been thinking a lot about my bilateral CI experience and all of my hearing loss experiences a lot the last week. Whenever people are faced with adversity and change and loss, be it ours or someone else's, I think we need to stop and evaluate our own lives. I will start putting together my presentation for my upcoming L.A. trip this evening. It is hard to know where to start. How do you explain my story from start to now?
