excels at mediocrity

So the last couple of months our family has been torn apart. My wife, our daughter and son in SLC, me and our other two daughters at home. Our little girl of 7 years is battling cancer and just had abone marrow transplant. She has to be within just a few minutes of the hospital for a couple of months and since we live 2 hrs away…. we had to get an apartment in SLC.

This whole experience has really made me admire single moms. I have a really hard time home alone with just 2 girls running them to and from school and trying to take care of things at work too. It’s really tough. So anytime I see someone I know is a single parent I’m humbled, because i know how tough it is.

So we’ve been meeting up on the weekends to spend a few days together, then its back to our weekly routines. This week my wife had to take our son to the doctor so we switched places and she is going home. We are in a little 2 bedroom apartment with a kitchen that is smaller than our bedroom closet at home, but it is sooo much better than being in our tiny hospital room we spent weeks and weeks in. We also have some privacy now, which you have very little of in the hospital. A couple more months of this and we will hopefully be a family all week instead of just being together on the weekends.
