Its time to start thinking about others.
I just found out that my niece's husband has a brain tumor. They have a fairly large and lovely family. This information does send me back to the week before Ruth was diagnosed. All the waiting and anxiety and the shock/loss/denial when we got the diagnosis. I am hoping that their diagnosis is the best case and will be thinking of them this week.
It does put perspective on the day to day - kids squabbling, my lack of running, worries about school next year seem like small things and things to enjoy rather than worry about.
