This too will pass

I wanted to share with my wonderful tools friends were I am now and where i plan to be. 

As some of you have seen and wondered were I have been for the past few weeks and why I haven't been working my program as I should.  Well this is an excuse but it is a good one.

First of all I need to tell you again that I am the care taker for my 87 year old father whom is at his best for his age as can be. These past 3 weeks for been a whorl wind of constant going and monitoring his health and set backs on a daily and minute  basis. He has has 2 major surgeries for cancer on his face that were not even noticeable to look at him.  And were they ever deep and to the bone. Not to mention we have been through 3 major hurricanes at the same time.  His last surgery was a grueling 7 hours on the table. And I was by his side the entire time.

And thats just a little of it. He also is seeing his pulmonary Dr. for a sleeping disorder.  Which means I drop him at night at 7:45 and be back by 5:30 am to pick him up for the sleeping disorder study.    And he has another major facial cancer surgery scheduled for this coming Friday.  So I am not getting much sleep and definitely not sleeping well at all. 

And now after Hurricane Ike I am sure we have lost all our lobster traps.  But the sad thing about that is I can't even make or take the time away from my father to go South to our Marathon home some 425 miles to see the damage.  Our home is only 35 miles from Key West where they had hurricane force winds and flooding.

 I will get through this some how and know that I will be a much stronger person for doing it.  And doing the right thing by my father. 

So if you see me hitting and missing at my tools lessons not to worry I am not a quitter or a looser.

I am in the game for life and intent to win.

So to all my wonderful tools family  [and I do consider you my own.]  I thank you one and all for being here for me when I need you the most. And you are all remembered in my family prayers.

So where ever you are and what ever your hardships  I thank you for being who you are and where your going.

All my best,

Deeplikeariver
