Blur

Carrie is in the hospital and I am by her side. She isn't doing well. She is actually quite peaceful and seems comfortable, but the doctor's outlook for her isn't good. We don't know how long she has, but the cancer is taking up too much space in her brain and seems to be slowly shutting down her systems. Her pain seems under control now thanks to the tremendous team-work of her doctors and nurses.

I ended up taking her in on Sunday evening due to an incredibly debilitating headache, and it went rapidly downhill from there, She was admitted and given a room, and we have been here ever since.

Carrie was surrounded by family today, and our three children were able to visit for a good length of time this evening. 

It's been quite a while since I posted an update on Carrie. It has all been a blur; good days, bad days, ups, and downs. We went on a trip to Mt. St. Helens, camped for the 4th, spent Father's Day weekend on San Juan Island, and cheered on Astrid and June at their swim meets,  Carrie's unwavering resolve to make the best of her time on this Earth, spending time with her children, family, and friends is inspiring and should be a lesson to us all. She got it right. This is one amazing women. An amazing mother, wife, daughter, friend, and co-worker. When you read this, light a candle, raise a toast, hug a loved one, and/or give a shout to the skies in honor of my best friend,

That smile.
