Normal life moves on even when it feels unfair. Late last week we got the news that a dear friend of ours is facing a fierce battle with cancer. So as she and her family started treatment this week, I try to smile for my boys through our normal busy week of activities and school.
On our schedule over the next weeks as the holidays approach I see ice skating parties, a first band program for the younger boy, a holiday band performance for the older boy, a debut singing and dancing part of a Russian Baker in the grade school Nutcracker and a host of other events. I know each one is important and huge for the boys. I know each one is a memory we will treasure. And I can’t help wondering how to help our friends not miss their own important events and memories as they fight.
