Wife’s sister-in-law died, no actual relation to me, but a decent person. Long bout with cancer. Wife has been in Canada all week, visiting, and I’ve been Mr Mom.

Being a mom or a dad is a tough enough job, but doing both is draining. I only wish I could do more. What the wife is going through, I can’t fix, can’t make it better, so I’ll do all I can do, which is to hold down the fort till she returns

Daughter misses her, I miss her. SHe’ll be gone a lot of this week, and I’ll also be gone on wednesday, so Gramma will watch the daughter. Thank god for grammas. I’m anxious to get life back to normal, but then, who isn’t? Wish me luck, I’ll need some.
