Saturday night is here & how well it goes depends on Monday morning.


Wait...WHAT? Today depends on tomorrow? What the heck?


Well, yeah....how tonight & tomorrow go depends on whether or not I have to travel out of town on Monday.


If I am travelling on Monday, tonight & most of tomorrow will be filled with sad faces and lot's of, "I wish you could stay."


If I get to work from home Monday, tonight & most of tomorrow will be filled with , "yay! We get to have daddy home this week!"


Funny part is that none of this would have meant diddly-doo if November 22 had gone differently. Had I passed, how would Saturday nights have gone since that day? Would there be ANY cheers? How long would it have taken for tears to be eliminated from the night?


The more I learn about my situation, the more I realize how differently tonight might have gone. What if I stayed alive, but with a badly damaged heart so that I couldn't go to LASER tag with my boys today? What if I had suffered enough brain damage (no jokes Darryl Z) that work was no longer an option? Sure, I wouldn't have to travel, but how much would that matter?


Maybe I should be HAPPY that I have to travel for work right now, because maybe I should be happy that I CAN travel for work; or happy that I can work at all.


Every since I married Ashley Noble, I knew I was one lucky guy. Ever since I saw each of my children for the first time, I knew I was ONE LUCKY SON-OF-A....


Money is tight with 3 kids, cars need new tires, the refrigerator is not making ice, the grass needs LOTS of help & we still have 2 houses to pay for.....life is tough at times....




....aren't I lucky that I get to be part of life being tough right now?




What?...


Oh....


Yep, I get to be home this week coming up.


YES! Did I mention that I am lucky?


Good night & God bless.
