I'm so fortunate to have a lot of energy, but it is hard. I work full time, am an only child with zero family around here. Two of my children are in college, so I only have one at home in high school. They are taking it pretty well, I guess. We have had a lot of tragedy, so quite frankly, we handle things like champs. My dad passed away 5 years ago from Flu B. My mom always helped with the children, so I've had to learn alternate ways to get my son home from school, etc... I certainly do not like these kinds of surprises any more. And 2 different kinds of rare cancer..????? I'd rather hit the money lottery than this one. Here is a pic of my youngest son (he was just in the musical Cinderella) and my daughter (she goes to Ball State) and me (first grade teacher).
