A Brief Update

I keep thinking I should post SOMETHING! I just don't really have much to say.


I have been sick since New Year's Day. I am so tired of being sick! My ear has fluid in it, so I can't really hear anything, and it is making me crazy! Before that both Jake and James were sick. Is the winter over yet? Our computer crashed for the final time right before Christmas. I had to have a new one since I work from home, but Jake hasn't transferred stuff off the old one to the new one yet, so I am missing a bunch of stuff.

The thing I have been thinking about most lately though is my cousin, Pam. She died on Saturday at only 38 years old. She left behind four children and one step child. I do not mourn for her, she had cancer and was suffering pretty badly at the end. I believe she is in a much better place and no longer in pain. It is for her poor children. See, her first husband wasn't the nicest of guys. He cheated on her and most likely gave her the cervical cancer. He has never treated their children like I think a father should, and, frankly, didn't deserve my cousin or the children. Her second husband, on the other hand, loved her through cancer and took on those children. He is a great guy. The problem is that her first husband won't let the second husband adopt the children. In fact, we are pretty sure that the first husband is going to fight for the kids and being that he is their biological father, he is probably going to win. It just isn't right!
