Today Andrew turns 40! It is so hard to believe we are both now living life in our 40's. That might sound like a strange statement, but again, I was in college when my parents turned 40 so this just doesn't seem possible.
And of course there is the fact that my dad first became ill when he was 42. In retrospect I realize how difficult it must have been for him to have to slow down and change his lifestyle at such a relatively young age. I am grateful that I had graduated from college and my sister was half-way through undergrad...at least they did not have the stress of raising children on top of dealing with Dad's illness.
Not entirely sure how we are going to celebrate today. We received about five inches of snow yesterday, and then the temps last night fell below zero with even colder wind chills. I checked weather.com about five minutes ago and the wind chill has stopped, but we are currently at five degrees. Not exactly looking forward to being out, but hopefully we will at least go out to dinner!
