Another year and so much going on...

Well, here we are in 2012 and so much is going on. My older children are doing well with their post-secondary school, I started back to college last week, my youngest daughter will be starting nursery school in the Spring and we're looking into First Grade (Wow!) for my youngest son. Despite all this we are still planning our fundraiser for this coming April, I'm hoping to have all the details hashed out in the next two weeks so everyone has a chance to build a bowling team and join us in the fun. Not a day goes by that I don't think of Jenny, some people find this silly but most of those people don't have children, living or deceased. Recently I learned that a little boy named Tripp Roth passed away in his mother's arms after a long illness. Tripp had a horrific skin condition called epidermolysis bullosa, EB for short. In brief this little boy was missing the genetic code for a protein that binds the skin layers together. I can't imagine the pain he must have endured on a daily basis but through his mother's love and excellent care he lived for 2 years and 8 months. I mention this in my own blog for one basic reason, Tripp's mom is going through the worst hurt the human heart has ever known, the loss of a child. My thoughts and prayers go out to her and all of Tripps family, friends and caregivers.
