Life's Twists and Turns

This blog was created to track my training with Moto, but boy has a lot changed since he came into my life:
I had the car accident
My husband lost his job
My brother-in-law got cancer
and all the other Life Stuff that comes with all those really BIG changes. So, I find it hard staying on-track and just blogging about what Moto and I are doing. This entry will not be about dogs.
My brother-in-law's cancer has spread. He's had radiation treatment and was accepted into a clinical trial, both to no avail. My sister sounded amazingly good on the phone as she told me the awful news last night. I even spoke with Barry and he sounded even better. I don't know how they do it. Maybe because next is a clinical trial that specifically targets his particular type of cancer. This is the one we are all hanging our hopes onto.
Please if you feel so inclined pray for Barry. We all know how powerful prayer and positive thinking is, and we need every prayer and every good thought.
Standing in my shoes, I feel like I've been reborn as my life was almost taken away over a year ago and handed back to me. As I feel the humid summer days I rejoice that I "get" to feel the dampness on my skin and hear the crickets chirping. I'm sure on Barry's side he's doing the same thing, but for the reason that his time may be coming to a close. Of course we all never know when our time will come; but cancer is such an awful disease. I cannot imagine the emotional stress, let alone the stress of chemo, radiation and all the other drugs put into your body.
Life is always so full of surprises. Our family just hopes we get some good surprises soon.
