It is difficult to believe that it's only been 10 days since our lives became what a relative so eloquently described as an "avalanche of adversity". Well, there wasn't any adversity today, just a lot TO DO. And do, we did. Aided by my sister Terry, our friend Anita, my nephew Josh, and my new housemates, Trenna and her husband Rene we moved from our apartment to the big house. These people are not just names mind you, they are saints and angels, earning crowns for themselves in heaven. Seeing what needs to be done and doing it.
So, back to what I heard on the BBC. I tuned in just as a man was talking about the floods in Pakistan. He said the people there were "aliens of no strategic interest to anyone." How sad and opposite from our situation!
If you could have seen the way our apartment was literally cleaned out from underneath me this morning I'll tell you what. It was awesome!! Leaf cutter ants got nothing on these folks. What's more, most of these same people will be showing up tomorrow to move all of our crap out of our storage unit too. Not to mention the fact that Josh already hauled it all the way down here from WA and unloaded it into the storage unit, just he and Phil...LOVE YOU JOSH YOU HUNK-A-HUNK-A-BURNING-LOVE

As if that wasn't enough, Trenna and Rene took our kids to Coronado with them so I could spend time with Phil tonight, Terry and Josh have fed us almost every day this week and been uber-aunt and cousin, and two great friends of ours Kevin and Jason are making plans to road trip a motorcycle down here from WA for Phil to ride when he feels up to it. Fo-shizzle!! The hits keep coming and coming... : )
We are fortunate to be known by you and to be called sister, brother, son, daughter, cousin, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew and friend. I know I said it yesterday and I know it will be said many times again but we are so blessed. Although it completely sucks, we've been given an opportunity few get to learn in the very hardest way our "strategic interest" to each other.
