Let me just tell you how very thankful I am for my other grandmother (the one that lives near me) that helped me buy the ticket and watched my children when my husband went to work. All so I could make this visit.
By the time we got there, he was doing much better. His health is still not great, but the stoke damage was somewhat "minimal" and he went home a week later. Still, if you can remember them, there is still support and healing that they all need.
I realized something there. We struggle sometimes after the loss of my husbands job last November - thank heaven he is now working - however taking another pay cut has been the challenge. Even so, I felt like...how can I possibly tie myself down to a job when what I need to do is be with them?? Does this sounds crazy? I need to take my children to my grandparents while I still can! And my husbands grandmother. None of them have met my son. I just felt like, none of this other stuff matters! (Okay, making enough money to pay our student loans matters, but you know what I mean?) They matter!
It may be a non issue. I only occasionally apply for work. I've had one interview that I didn't get, which funnily enough I was a little bit afraid they would offer it to me. I want something else for myself that I still can't exactly figure out. Maybe it is to be able to be home.
