Where to begin

Well I have always wanted to keep some sort of journal about my family and why not share it. The real question will be how long will I be able to keep this up. I was no English major so please don't pick on me for my grammar errors...there will be many. I am all high tech and for me, this will be a great way to keep the out of state family and friends up to speed on what is going on in the Bluegrass state and my life.

As most of you know my dad has cancer and seeing him be so strong for the rest of us is the hardest thing. As he said, "it is what it is and if it brings the family closer together then something good will come out of it". I am trying to be the strong one and have been, knowing that my time for tears will come all too soon. One would think watching my during this situation would be bad but it is not going to be anything compared to when explain the entire situation to Cassidy (9) and Ashton (7). Just thinking about it is making me tear up and wanting me to hug them all so tight.

Went to visit mom and pop yesterday. He seemed in good spirits but that just could because I was there. Talking to mom, she understands what the outcome will be and even though no one wants to think about it, she knows what has to be done. We discussed things that no one even thinks about until they are staring you in the face. The future holds some rough roads ahead for us but with God's love, we will get through it.
