Is that even a word? Well I'm making it one ... if normal no longer applies, reality has still reared its ugly head with commitments every single night this week, except maybe Friday? I can't remember. It's also Fall Break, which entails me reading and taking notes on the five chapters I'm behind, and starting my term paper. Due November 1st. Exam is October 25th. University of Portland application due November 2nd. Sh*t.
And Tuesday is Daddy's birthday.
This could be my breakdown week...
Moved 3,000 miles across the country to take care of Dad during his battle with lung cancer. By his side until the day he died. Now trying to pick up the pieces.

My Hero
In those minutes or hours or days that we're able to carry the weight of this disease, that's when life happens. I know that, in the end, my burdens will become too heavy. But I don't see that as a failure. This isn't a contest or a race. We're not being judged against the actions of others. I think there's really only one thing I'm hoping for. When that time comes, I hope I can say, "I did my best." Then I'll know that I won my "fight," that I was able to bear my burdens. That's enough.-Leroy Sievers
