A change of life

Well I see that I haven't blogged in a long time. I just couldn't bring myself to post. I have had a heck of a month. My dad has been ill for some time now. It seems like everyday there is more new and usually not uplifting. My dad is facing so many life threatening problems with none of his treatments helping. So now the only option left is chemo and he doesn't want to do that. I love him and respect his wishes but at the same time wonder if this won't shorten what time we have left with him. In less than a year I have lost my uncle who I was very close to & the greatest man I ever knew...Bert just in January. I love them all so much and this has been the hardest time in my life loosing John & Bert and now being unsure of my dad. I just want to make whatever time he has left good for him and lots of memories for my kids and me.

To top all that off I have also lost my job after 10 years. Downsizing! I think the phrase that gets me the most is "this is not personal" Believe me I told HR well it is personal to me! The company is generous enough to give us all a severance package that will allow me to stay home with the two boys for the summer. Which also mean stitching time!! Oh and a little redecorating around the house. I guess I will have plenty of time to work in the garden!!

Okay so now that I have gotten that off my chest I am feeling a little more upbeat. Now on to fave the rest of my life. :)
