I know I haven't been here too much, but I've been feeling a little down and introspective lately.  My brother in law died a few days ago of lung cancer.  I don't know how long he had it, how much warning they had, but I had just found out about it, then, within a few days, he was gone!  He was younger than my dh and just a year older than me.  I feel so bad for my sister and niece.

 

It's sobering, thinking how quickly something can take a life.  And with the doctor saying there was an "area of concern" when Tom had his stress test, and having had a stent put in 5 (I think) years ago, I start worrying about him, thinking of all the things he takes care of that I wouldn't have a clue about how to do if I lost him.  Things would just fall apart around my ears around here, I think! And after all these years of being home, who would hire an unskilled person pushing 60?

 

As I tell Tom - he'll just have to outlive me!

 

Anyway, that's what's got me down lately. Give me a few days to push these maudlin thoughts back into the back of my mind and I'll be fine.
