Mortality is the main topic.
This year a lot of our relatives are battling their bodies. Both of my grandmothers got cancer and as I mentioned in the last post, one has passed. (Side-note: I am so glad we made the decision to go visit her and introduce her to the kids in early June. This is the stuff that matters.) LCD's dad has been dealing with a pretty serious autoimmune disorder for the last year and a half and his grandfather is back in the hospital today for numerous conditions after just getting out a couple weeks ago. And I'm beginning to realize this is going to continue. It is the normal way of life for things to start breaking down. For most of my youth I was surrounded by healthy thriving things and people and now I'm thinking about the "no duh" fact that I'm not so young anymore. On the happy side of things, more babies are coming to the family. And I'm getting to watch my children grow and become more and more awesome.
Big sis starts preschool next week. And the baby is almost to the HALF YEAR mark.
Oh life. It's bigger. Bigger than you.
