I had this great post written in my head. I spent the weekend getting ready for the big social event of the year. I had my nails done, my hair done, had a beautiful dress. We went and had a great time. We went to the photo booth and took some great shots.
Sunday I took one of my girls to a horseback riding party. It was awesome and a great, growing experience for her.
And I took pictures and had a post already written in my head. And I was going to talk about Thanksgiving and food and recipes and family and fun.
And then Monday happened.
My sister in law has cancer and she fell and broke her hip and suddenly, my plans fell apart. Because I'm not able to think of those things. I'm trying to be helpful and do the things necessary and not be in the way.
I'll be back later with those other posts. Which will be too late and not make much sense - but that's real life, right there.
Oh man, I'm sorry.

Real life is always far more important than relevant posts. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and health to your sister in law. ...and I can't imagine you being in the way. We've never met, but I have a feeling you are among the people I'd want nearby in a crisis.

Prayers are with you for all the good and not-so-good events.

My thoughts are with your family. I hope your sister-in-law is getting the care she needs to recover quickly and with as little pain as possible.

Thinking of you and your family, most especially your Sister in Law.

But the posts will be relevant because life has a way of changing up things. Prayers for all.
Ten days ago I bought 8 gallons of paint to paint various rooms in teh house before Christmas. Then a child broke her arm, all seven children got sick with sore throats, night of fever and night terrors for one, and then last night I spent a few hours in the ER with DH who was in a car accident (told "milliseconds" from having a much different outcome). So I am very thankful this Thanksgiving.
Praying that the togetherness with your SIL will bring added peace to the stressful situation.
