Sorry for the gap with no posts -- my family was getting our oldest moved into his duplex. He starts college this week. Transitions in life are tough -- even the inevitable ones.
Mom seems to be doing well with the chemo. She's been getting out some to do the things she usually does.
My mind is a tornado of thoughts right now -- too many things swirling way too fast. There was one moment during the last few days where life slowed down just a bit. Over the weekend, we stayed with some friends of my wife -- a wonderful elderly couple who live in a beautifully remodeled farm house just south of Auburn.
Saturday night, my three youngest and I took some blankets, laid out on the lawn, and watched the Perseid meteors for an hour. We saw at least eight of them, some fast, some slow, some that left a glowing trail, some that burned bright white, others a reddish-orange. All different and each one beautiful in its own way. If you blink, you can miss one. Kind of like how it is when our kids grow up -- blink and it seems like you miss it. Or the times with our parents once we're out on our own.
