This Weeks Ups and Downs

This week is turning out to be a real roller coaster ride. On the one side we have Dad celebrating 50 years as a priest. This is a major accomplishment. There is a celebration at church and a party later in the day. My brother is coming to town and that is always good for the spirits. I hate that we don't live closer. On the other side we have bad news from Jim's sister. She needs heart surgery and the doctors at the hospital are refusing to do it. They say its to complicated but the real reason is her insurance. We are now hoping to find another hospital that will take on her case but don't know how it will go. You just don't how to feel at times like this. One side of the family is happy and looking forward to a big celebration and the other side is depressed and stressed out. I hope next week goes better.
