We went to my mom's in Betty's Bay last weekend. The weather was incredible! It was so, so cool to see the boys out in the sun, catching fishies and sliding down sand banks. Mostly the weekend reminded me how important family is and how we really need to take care of one another. From policing my mom in to drinking water, granny Annie taking a slight fall and the boys having really bad coughs I fell in to a slight panic. The truth is: My mom has Rheumatoid Arthiritis and it really, really, really sucks for her. I realized again how busy our lives are and that I really haven't been there for her as much as I can lately. It's hard when your parents get sick because you sort of don't know what to do because you're so used to them helping you with your own life, health and obstacles. My mom is going to see a different specialist and there will be chemotherapy involved. The RA has progressed really fast since her official diagnosis about a year ago.
I'm worried about everyone right now. I'm worried about Graeme, the boys. I don't feel like I'm doing a very good job at taking care of everyone, and I really want to. I know that I'm doing the best that I can, but I just want to be there for everyone and I want everyone that I love to be happy and healthy and I worry. Do you ever worry like this? Here are a few pictures of us last weekend, just being together. Go hug your family.
