Slacking it up

Lately... I've been slacking. I haven't been so consistant with my posts... And I apologize! 

 

Life has been a little crazy this past month. My father in law had a stroke. Seriously if your like me and haven't known someone that has had a stoke before, this is a bit traumatizing! We left my in-laws house and almost as soon as we got home (we only live about 10 minutes away) my husband gets a call from my frantic mother in law. "Chris (father in law) is having a stroke!" My husband jumps in the car and speeds (literally, A cop tried to pull him over) back to there house. 

 

Apparently he was just sitting on the bed and his whole left side went numb. My mother in law said he was telling her as it was happening and she saw his face droop. Next day we are there in the hospital with him. It was so sad to see him so helpless, and it kinda hit me that anything can happen at any moment! 

 

I've felt like I was aware of this statement before, but in reality I had no idea. Ever since the stroke we've done our best to visit him at the hospital and rehab center. If it was me, I know he'd be there. He's doing better, and is working really hard to be fully recovered.

 

Anyway I guess what I really want to get across, is please don't take for granted your loved ones. Lucky for us he is recovering, but I can't help but think, what if he wasn't recovering? Or what if this stroke would have taken him from us? We would be devastated.

 

Love your family my friends.
