Easy Silence is the Best Silence

This week started off great. We went to a couple's shower on Saturday for my cousin and his wife to be (WHO I LOVE!) which is where the picture was taken in the post below. Sunday Seth and I threw a Celebrate Life party, Well, to celebrate Life! My grandma just finished Radiation Treatments for uterine Cancer. She is doing pretty well now. The day after the party My grandpa and 2 of my cousins and My Aunt all got sick. Then My brother's 4 children were sick with fevers and stomach flu like symptoms just like my Grandpa, Aunt and Cousins. On Tuesday night I woke up with the same and felt just horrible. When Seth got home from Lexington that morning he brought me home from my parents where I was staying the night b/c they help me get Carly off in the morning to school when I am not feeling well. He takes such good care of me when I am sick. That day My grandpa was admitted to the hospital for a Bowel obstruction. They have since run some tests and his platelet count is extremely low. They are unsure what is going on and it will take more tests to determine. Thursday my brother's wife who was also sick with a fever had a OB appointment where they did a pelvic exam. When she got home she was bleeding and having back pain and was admitted to the hospital. They gave her some medicine to help the baby's lungs develop if she were to deliver and to try to keep her from going into labor. They did an ultrasound and the little guy is 3 lbs. He isn't due until the end of May. The medicine helped and she is no longer bleeding and has been released.
The other night Seth and I were in bed and I was crying about things. Questioning why so many things happen to some people while some seem to walk through life unscathed. Not that I wish anything bad on anyone. Sometimes Seth has a tendency to want to "fix" that are wrong with me, but not that night. He held me and let me cry. I heard a song that SO reminded me of that moment, and as soon as Seth is back from Lexington I will make him listen to it hee hee...he just LOVES when I do that!

Anyway Seth if you are reading this

"Answers only make more questions
I need something to believe in
Breathe in sanctuary in the
Easy silence that you make for me
It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me
And the peaceful quiet you create for me
And the way you keep the world at bay for me"
