It's been a long week, but it's not over yet

This has been a long, and very draining week.  Andrew's dad is still with us.  He's actually been fairly cognizant and responsive.  While we are grateful in many regards, no one is interested in this being prolonged.

Additionally, my mother called this evening to let me know the husband of one of her friends passed was found unresponsive and passed away this morning.  A co-worker at the church lost her dog today, and as it was a beagle it broke my heart (I am missing our sweet girl who is with Andrew right now).  This same co-worker had a daughter who was in a terrible car accident this week and was seriously injured.  We also know that Thomas is struggling with emotions of everything.  My heart hurts about all of this, and to be honest, the worst is yet to come.  I continue to pray for a peaceful passing for Andrew's father, and I hope I can be with Andrew soon.  I hate not being with him, but we need to minimize the amount of time the kids miss school.   This has been a really tough week.
