And you’ve just reminded me, not only of a high point, but more importantly, one that arrived in the middle of everything this summer.

One of the peaks of 2007 was Sue and Steve announcing that they were expecting their first child. And one of the peaks of 2008 was the kid’s arrival.

The fact that he arrived just 20 minutes after Hodo’s brother left… I can’t shake the mental image of two people passing in the hall.

It's not good to make me cry on a Tuesday. Remember that Ecclesiastes bible verse (which I can't pull up the exact quote at work b/c it's blocked), "To every thing there is a season.." It just shows that there is a circle of life, no matter how yucky the grey days are, but it's all part of the master plan of life. I found out this morning a co-worker of mine passed away on Friday. From cancer. I didn't even know she had cancer until today. It just continues to remind me of how good I had it during my diagnosis and recovery because I'm still here. It also scares the heck out me because my recovery may not have turned out this well. Gosh darn it. It’s not good to make me cry on a Tuesday.

A strand of two or three cords is not easily broken." So yes, it is a time to cling to one another -- and to check your wallet afterward, to make sure it's still there.

No one expects you to be all monkeys and exploding Coke all the time. Do you know this saying? “When you’re up, your friends know you. When you’re down, you know your friends.” Yes, what SueP said!
