The statistics from Ohio are simply not good today. It's pretty discouraging. As I told Andrew last night, in March when this all started, it felt easier to do. We were going to do what we needed to do and then things would get better. That's the American way. But here we are four months later, and things are NOT better. In fact, the numbers are actually worse. Which means the reality is, four months hasn't been enough, and five, six, even seven months won't be enough either. It's difficult to process that from an emotional standpoint.
I hate that Catherine's graduation party is going to be poorly attended. She so deserves to be celebrated. I'll be honest, it infuriates me that there was a big celebration for my oldest, and she's getting the shaft in so many ways when she deserves it so much more. That might sound terrible of me to say, but that is the truth. I do appreciate that some are sending a note to her even if they can't come. I just want her to know right now how much we all think of her. It's kind of hard to explain.
And the worst news today came from family. I wrote in March about Andrew's cousin who was driving cross county and stopped in for a visit. He's had some complications from the cancer, and today's information was particularly bleak. Things are going poorly, and they are running out of options.
I'm sorry that my posts have all been kind of down lately. It's all just becoming a little overwhelming. I know we are blessed overall, but today definitely has some sadness!
