What Can I Say?

If you were not aware of my wife’s blog, see here and please comment how the heck you found me! Anyway as you know for this weekend I have been turned into a stay at home single Dad while my wife attends to our family tragedy. If only tragedy were a strong enough word…

To be honest I am quite sick of death in my family. I have had far more than my share lately and I’m losing my nerve for handling all the emotion. It started 2 years ago. Keep that in mind, 2 years. The day my second daughter was born after about 8 hours of elation and being awake for about 32 straight hours I got the call that my father had suddenly died from a heart attack. Talk about emotions. Since then, my family through blood and marriage have lost my wife’s uncle (father to the recent tragedy), her great grandmother, her grandfather, my aunt, my father’s aunt, my grandmother, and now her cousin of same age with child. Honestly I hope I didn’t forget anybody because that would be awful but it’s late and it’s a rather lengthy list for just 2 years. Or is it? Is this kind of wave normal? We all have the marriage and baby waves with friends, but death?

Anyway, I will do my best to post each day about what I feel like after raising two toddler girls by myself for a couple days. I am not afraid at all and I actually am excited about doing so. I love one-on-one time with the kiddos and plan to make the most of it. Today and tomorrow might be harder because I do have to worry about my other actual paying job as best I can. I do have people who work for me and some actual serious responsibility there. Scary, I know.

My first real link acquired by myself is out there! Go to Humor-Blogs and click on my name so I get credit for the link. Maybe someday soon I will get humorous. I think I will follow the lead of my wife and find embarassing family photos to entertain my few readers. Sorry sis…
