Have You Ever Transcended Space or Time?

Ok, sorrry to be such a downer on my blog lately. Needless to say this has been a weird week.

Open mic went pretty well on Tuesday, a lot of people came out and it was good to hear some people play their original stuff. When I got home that night, I started feeling sick. When I woke up I knew I was in for it. But Jaden and I drove to Akron to visit my fam. My dad was at the hospital but was doing decently well, eating, talking, which is good as of late. The first night I was there, Jaden didn't sleep until 5am. The second night, he wouldn't sleep without being on my chest. So I was exhausted on top of being sick. I felt that I didn't really help my family out too much. Thursday my dad came home from the hospital. Things were ok. Friday Jaden and I were leaving, my mom tried to wake my dad up to say goodbye, but he wouldn't wake up, we just thought it was the morphine. We found out later that he had pneumonia. Not good. But then today the doctors said that he was responding well to the antibiotics. So he might be home in a couple of days.

My sis also just called and told us that she and her man Javier have decided to get married this Saturday so my dad can marry him, which is very cool. Jav is a great guy and has been such a help with the family the past couple months. I can tell he loves Rachel so much.

All this to say that things have been up and down. There have been tears and laughter, care and anger, hope and fear. I also am trying to do as much of my job as possible. The church has been awesome about giving me time and space, but at the same time, I want to do my job, earn my keep. I feel a bit behind on some things and am excited to get back into music and together and relationships that I have put off lately. For now, it's touch and go.
