I have really missed communicating with you. But, three
months ago a tragedy occurred in my life.
One of my sons (the youngest) was
diagnosed with stage 3 multiple myeloma. Although he was not feeling well and
was experiencing pain in his back, the diagnosis was completely unexpected.
What followed was worse. During hospitalization for a second
cancer treatment, his body went into cardiac arrest and he died on August 24th.
There are no Adequate words to express how devastating this
has been. You want to deny it has happened because your pain and grief are overwhelming
and reality is intolerable.
Although friends have been overwhelmingly supportive, the
most emotional support has come from being with the children in the daycare.
The demands of every day, and having to put their needs first help me get
through each day. Their love, joy, and curiosity has been a successful
distraction for a meaningful part of my day.
I do not need to remind any of you to treasure the time you
have with your children. Even those challenging times. I am focusing on the
unique bond we had. That will be with me forever.
The children in the daycare are benefiting from all the
experiences I had as a parent including those with this son.
Thank you for all the good comments I have received.
