Live for today. Hope for tomorrow.

jiggity jog. so good to be home! david did SO well on both flights, didnt cry once, and slept almost the whole time each way. minneapolis was as beautiful as i remember it! total time crunch though haha. so stressful trying to fit in everything and everyone in just a few days, but it was totally worth it.

good news: grandparents are going on vacation very soon! yay! no offense to either of them, but geez.

bad news is very bad. my parents’ neighbor james was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia about a year and a half ago. he was treated with chemothereapy and received a bone marrow transplant, putting the cancer into remission. we were all so relieved, and he did very well for so long; all of his tests came back mostly normal [his numbers came back low a couple times from viruses he caught. his immune system was pretty much shot with the chemo.] however, he got sick while i was in MN, and i just found out that he was transferred back to vanderbilt university medical center and his leaukemia came back. it’s not something that can be put back into remission…they’re going to try to treat it with another round of chemo, just to give him more time. they arent sure of the results. if he chooses not to do chemo, though, he has maybe three weeks. he’s all his wife has. they’re the nicest people i know, and they’re in the midst of making funeral arrangements just in case. please keep them in your prayers.
