More personal update

If you are reading this, I covet your prayers.  Or a kind thought.  Or your understanding.

My family is going through a bit of a transition right now.  My family in Syracuse.  My Oma (my father’s mother) is moving in with my aunt and uncle.  It’s a rather natural transition…but for some reason, I’m not emotionally handling it as well as I thought I would.  I know it’s for the best…my Oma shouldn’t live in a big house by herself.  She’s almost 81.  But for some reason, it’s hitting hard.  I’m going to visit her next week while I’m on vacation.  But still.

Also…next Friday, my youngest nephew is having surgery on one of his kidneys.  He has a valve in his kidney that doesn’t shut all the way, so urine goes back into his kidney instead of fully evacuating.  The surgery he’s having is 98% effective, but for a few weeks, our house is going to be in a bit of turmoil.  He’ll be in the hospital for 2-3 days, which means we’ll have 2 kids at home, a bit unsettled with their kid brother in the hospital and with their parents in Wilmington, DE with their brother.

So that is just the tip of the iceberg right now.  I wanted to give a bit of an update on life.
